Stock 2-2 into 2-1?
Can I just remove one exhaust and cap that side? I see that there is a pipe that interconnects the 2 headers. What would be the downside to just running 1 stock exhaust with the other side capped? Would it be to restrictive or cause one cylinder to run richer (or leaner?) than the other? Would I have to cut off the one header side and weld it into just the one pipe? I have an 06 ninja 250. Thanks

Nope, won't work. Exhausts rely on very specific pulse velocities and pressure waves as dictated by pipe-length and diameter. Optimum header-length before merge is 46-56cm (based upon speed-of-sound). Pipe diameter should match displacement & volume flow.
Stock exhaust is highly optimized for stock engine. Changing any parameter will lower/raise HP/TQ level and their peak RPM-points. Racers adjust these in tiny increments to optimize performance in exact RPM-ranges they use. What you are doing is stuffing 2-cylinders worth of flow into passages designed for 1. Not to mention non-laminar flow caused by capping and sharp transitions through H-pipe. What you want to do to make this work effectively (maintains existing performance or improve it), is: 1. examine and measure pipe-diameters & lengths of OEM new-gen exhaust, note length of header to merge. Measure pipe-diameters after merge. Cut open new-gen muffler and measure internal pipe-diameter 2. examine and measure same with aftermarket 2-1 new-gen exhausts from Tyga and AreaP. After doing #1 & #2, you'll get good idea of what design parameters, such as lengths and diameters of various sections are required to get good performance out of 2-1 exhaust. Here's link to similar procedure you're thinking of that didn't work: https://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=322941 . Header-lengths way too short before merge, and pipe-diameters not large enough after merge for 2-cylinder's worth of flow. You'll want to optimize design for maximum-flow in RPM-range you want to use, then adjust carbs for max-power AFR in that range (13.5:1 is target for NA engines). Then slowly advance ignition to achieve MBT. Best done on dyno with fully-programmable EFI system with 3D mapping of fuel & ignition. |

You would need a proper collector to join the 2 header pipes into 1 exit pipe (of the correct size).
No good way to modify the stock 2-into-2 to a 2-into-1. |

dude. This bike has been on the market since 1988 and you still see the need to ask a question that has been answered 10,000 times over.
Do some googling. Damn. |

Well why the hell isn't a 2-1 exhaust available? I've owned bikes from the 70's and they still make exhausts for them... For such a common bike, it annoys me that there is only pipes available for the newgen.

I suspect there's not much market for such upgrades. The ones buying these upgrades are racers and pre-gens have stopped being raced long time ago. Even new-gens are on their last legs with 300s and 400s becoming more popular.

Here's an example of how to do it right so there's performance gain. Note larger diameter of pipe aftrr merge collector to deal with twice flow volume.
