you wouldn't have to, but a balance tube wouldn't be a bad idea...

The only thing about true duals is getting around the fuel tank with the drivers side pipe.

if you use large enough pipe, it flows well and the exhaust pulses will help with scavenging, just like headers.Just need large enough pipe after they merge to make it worthwhile. I still run single exhaust on mine, and it runs real strong since I changed the outlet pipe to 3.25".

Ok well I don't worry with the tank. To get a better idea look at my picture the only difference I plan on making is the engine.
