As part of my body work, following getting hit, I have to replace my exhaust. I have been looking at all the different options, and I think I've at least narrowed it down to the Cobras (since V&H doesn't make the slash staggered in chrome).

My question is this. Aside from the length of the bottom pipe and the cut of the rear tip, what is the difference between the Cobra Dragsters and Speedster Slashdowns? $100+ difference tells me there's something, but I can't seem to find it.

I believe the Cobra Speedsters (both swepts and slashdowns) have a cross-over that connects the two pipes and makes for more even back pressure between both cylinders. The Dragsters on the other hand, are true dual.

I may be wrong about this though...

I have the Cobra swept and there is no X-over..

Like I said, I may be wrong, but they sure do make it look like there's a cross-over on them...

I have the cobra swepts as well and no crossover.

Did a little research on Cobra's website:

Must have read right past that....more than once. Goes to show what a fresh pair of eyes will do for you. I am assuming the crossover leads to freer air flow and a little more power over the 2 into 2?

I'm going to have to take a good look. If they do cross for more back pressure. Then u can take the baffles out possibly.

I think it also functions to equalize the back pressure and/or the exhaust flow of each cylinder

That's a mounting bracket. Not a cross-pipe.

that item circled is a mounting bracket. i just helped a friend install his pipes and i did not see a crossover but i will look to see where the crossover is at. i believe it is at the point where the headers meet the pipes.
