Not so sure about sidepipes with the cladding. They can get some pretty heavy heat raiding sometimes, and it might melt or warp the cladding. Burned my leg on my than one occasion on them when I had my old Vette.

Well DP, someone here has dual exhaust already, but I dont recall who it is. Do a search on it and some pics should pop up. Makes the VX look pretty raw.

As for the 20's, I am not a fan of anything over the 18's, but it's your VX. As long as I am not paying for your VX, it's 100% YOUR call.

I have had the PV for near 2 years now. Still very happy and it gets better with age. Some say it's noisy, I say it's growling.

What kind of riding do you do? Can;t tell ya too much regarding tires without knowing your driving plan. I drive street near 100% of the time, and i LOVE my Yokohama AVS shoes.
