Hi All,
Like many others I wasn't willing to shell out a grand for a set of aftermarket mufflers. Through some trial and error, I sucessfully got some maganflow cans and tips installed and couldn't be happier. I had these fabbed up with flanges so that they bolt and unbolt just like the stock cans. Mufflers are universal magnaflow non-polished part # 11365 2 1/4" pipe. They were the smallest I could find to give the exhaust guys enough room to play around with. At first I tried 2 1/2" pipe cans, but they didn't work. Tips are C5 corvette tips that the shop provided. The issue is, if you wish to use the flange and not cut into the stock pipe, the lack of room when the dual tips are added. The corvette tips were short enough to work and I think they look great on the MC.
Impressions-Very happy, slight drone around cruising speeds but barely enough to even mention, a non-issue really. Overall the noise is very stock like, a bit deeper in tone, just turned up about 30%. I would characterize this setup as mild to moderate, the wife even approves. If you can, check out the clips through real speakers.
