We have specially designed the left side Link pipe to allow the chain to run over it without touching, some of our competitors do not, so be aware of this.

I'm in between, they definitely shot these then edited them digitally. That part would be reflecting white and someone going fast could easily accidentally cut it out wrong in Photoshop while editing the picture.
Could be no one noticed the pictures, but I would HOPE someone noticed that restriction (in real life if it is indeed on the part, but I can't imagine it should be there)
NEVERMIND, wow how did they include that..

I don´t see the reason to buy anyway, seems to be exactly the same design as oem pipes ... Btw, stock left can have this restiction on the link pipe as well, but not this sharp shape.

Here is the response I got from my email inquiry... While I respect their opinion how do they know the flow difference in the link pipes with out putting them on a flow bench, which is highly doubtful seeing they have not even dyno'd the rig...
Hello Bobby,
The notch you mention is for chain clearance, and doesn't affect the performance, in fact the oem Honda headers have more affect on flow than our linkpipes. Unfortunately we don't have any dyno readouts at present.

Seen that video, well... most of these dents are more or less flattened, but they made a square cut on that full system, I bet there is some effect to that, same as the OEM restriction, there is a reason to the OEM one as it was tested by Honda for it's existence ;-)

Maybe they too saw the Engine Masters episode with denting the pipes?
