I've been contemplating the same exhaust setup on one of my 450s, as I just came into a good CL exhaust with rough mufflers. What's the outlet from the 2-1 - 2.25"? What'd it cost you to get that done?
New guy with a CB450...

Aloha all, so here I am with a new to me 1970 CB450. My last one was a 1970 CL450 and I've also had a 78' CB750 and a 1969 SL350. The twins are my favorite.
This one is exceptionally fugly. It hasn't had tags/registration since 1980, it's been sitting (outside) since 1999, and it has all the "cool" shit from the late 1970s. Mini ape-hangers, freeway pegs, 4" over forks, diamond shaped upholstery, and lots and lots of rust!
I think I'm going to call it "el perrito" because it really is a dog right now. Plans call for a full overhaul on the motor, seat and tank, electronic ignition of some sort, clip-ons and rearsets, and LOTS of cleaning/polishing.
I'm thinking mostly black with orange powdercoated rims for a color scheme.
Anyways it's already torn down and I'm sure you all want some pics, so...
