Custom pregen exhaust options

I'm trying to find a source for small diameter pipe, a 27mm-? universal 2-1 merger if such a thing exists. Everything else can probably be dealt with using thinwall emt, a wire feed, and maybe an apprentice with a hand bender but 2-1 collectors smaller than 2" don't seem to be a thing?
As much as I don't believe the stock twin exhaust on a pregen is much of a limiting factor in terms of flow/power potential the weight savings of a 2-1 has to be significant on such a small bike.

Yes, HUGE weight-savings going to 2-1. Check out this Area P pre-gen exhaust thread:
https://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=13852

Since it's already tuned for max-power at high-RPMs, more gains can be had in mid-range. Which is what you want on street-bike anyway. Apparently really significant gains in mid-range.

Check this out for merge collectors: https://coneeng.com/collector_components.html
and this for tubing: https://burnsstainless.com/collectio...ends-304-steel

This is interesting, thanks. The actual ID where the stock header mounts to mufflers is 1 1'4" but starts at 1" out of the head, interestingly enough. I'm inclined to agree about the stock twin system- it's like shorty headers on an old Chevy, good for nothing but the dyno.

I can relate, I keep burning through when trying to weld thin sheet metal. Practice, practice, practice

The last exhaust I tried to weld up had an extra spool of flux core attached but looked less like crap after attacking it w a grinder.
