Thanks to everybody who replied with tips and advice. I teeter tottered between giving a 4 tip Monza style a try, since if I'm going to get poor quality no matter what I might as well get inexpensive too, and the single quiet pack setup from Gene Berg. The Berg won, I ordered it today. It's twice as costly, but I've never known Berg to skimp on things. I believe they invented the extractor/quiet muffler combo in the first place. Plus it's got those permanently mounted tubes for the fresh air, and dang it I want to see what's up with these since I'm thinking about getting a Berg setup for my bus too. It's supposed to come unpainted, so I'm going to see if anyone local does hot coating. Besides, Betty's a classy old broad and I want to treat her good.

If you find a good make, let the rest of us know. I've got Bugpack headers, they're junk. Had to take a torch to it and do some major bending before it would fit on a stock engine. The 2-4 flanges weren't even in the same plane. The mufflers tend to split, too. Most of the available stuff is Mexican-made, the quality just isn't there. The flanges to bolt up the muffler to the headers need to be at least twice the thickness, they bend and lead to leaks at the joint. I'll probably end up making up a set, then I'll be sure of what I've got. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
