The way I see it, the front and rear headers hit the crossover squarely and dead centrally in the fore and aft positions respectively and the exit path from both then splits equally and symmetrically to exit at the 90 deg positions.
I can't see how the system favours one exit path over the other .... unless there is some hidden internal restriction arising out of manufacturing inaccuracies.

Its true that the rear header routing is more convoluted than the front header but this should be of no consequence if the flow from each is split and distributed equally to both silencers ... which I'm suggesting that it is.


Makes no difference on my bike though as I have a two into one system with just the single silencer. ......
