Does anyone know the size of the two pipes that attach to the heads and the size of the joined pipes that attach to the exhaust on a stock 2009 US Buell Lightning XB12SCG?[confused]
 
Your gonna hurt power every where unless your doing some major mods like flowed heads, custom intake and plan on revving that thing really high (which requires major internal mods).

I'm not sure about the "hurt power" statement. I intend to do some personal testing, but there's a reason why they changed sizes. The 1125 is smaller displacement, but works considerably better with a 2.5" merge over a 2" one. I need to do some figuring and guesstimating before I make a set or mod some stock headers though. Time and testing will tell.
 
Those two engines are WORLDS APART!! Smaller displacement but A LOT HIGHER RPM limit, a lot more breathing going on and overall a LOT MORE POWER being produced = more exhaust volume. If your going to do some testing, I look foreword to your results and hope your butt dyno has been calibrated lol.
