I agree, those pipes are pretty cool looking... Where'd you get them from or did you make them yourself?

Why would that set up make the one cylinder run hotter than the other?

Interesting, I would think that because it was shorter, the hot gasses would leave faster making it run cooler

Lean and mean? Got it MrGrn!

I understand now, it runs lean because of a loss in back pressure and therefor runs hotter!
