It looks nice on the bike, I like that crossover design better than the tube on my Akra or the stock pipe but I can't comment on whether its better or worse, I can only assume its necessary as they all seem to have it, although the HPE on my R12S didn't. I will say that the hole between those 2 pipes is a lot bigger than the ones in the stocker and Akra, I also wonder if having the deadspace between the connection has some sort of damping effect, kind of like the "boost bottles" that were the intake rage in the 80's.

if you are going to keep the stock muffler this is a good solution, but if you are going to replace the whole system the titanium Akra is probably the way to go and will shed 10 pounds.
