exhaust pipe question

Post by chris305 » Tue Jun 14, 2016 12:16 am

If you had the choice would you go with new aftermarket mufflers or original older ones? I know there is cost difference but if close which would you choose? For aftermarket I would be talking about the Emgo megaphone type at $60 ea on ebay

Another aftermarket version for around $170 with shipping available from various overseas vendors:

There is a BIG cost difference between either aftermarket versions and oem or re-pops!

Is budget a factor? Is #2 even an option?

I liked the shape of the $170 aftermarket version best.

There is a thread titled "mufflers, mufflers, mufflers" that has pics

Thanks, Seadog, my phone would not copy the link (or maybe I'm not smart enough to operate a smart phone)!
