Title: How does something like this sound?

I'm wary of cheap ebay stuff... but I'm just wondering if any of you guys are running these... and if so, how do they sound and perform?

Also, is there a good place/group buy or something to get my hands on an aftermarket seat? I might just try to fab up something like many of you have, but I'm just looking for more options. Cheers!

Be careful. Others here have posted quite a bit of negative comments regarding that seller "Kwik_Bay". Buyer beware!

Hmmm. Is "Screaming Eagle style" the same as "Screaming Eagle"? :-/

As far as I know. I run a SE and love it. Looks good, sounds good.

Kwik Bay has a terrible feedback rating on Ebay....read his customer comments. People on this site have had bad experiences with him. Furthermore, you have no idea how this muffler will sound on your bike, so why buy it? You may well end up with something you don't like and then have to spend more $ on a proven product.
For less $ than the Kwik Bay clone, you can buy a Harley Dyna muffler and if that isn't loud enough for you, with a very long 1/4" drill bit you can drill up to 3 holes in the baffle until it is as loud as you want. Thats what I did and it was an easy bolt up install. But if you do go to a Dyna, MAKE SURE you get the one that bolts right up and has the Harley clamp included with it. There are variations of the Dyna, and there is alot on this site about that issue.

That doesn't look like a real Screamin'Eagle.It should be stamped on it somewhere.Also has an odd looking mounting bracket,would take a little fab work. :-/

For sure it's not a real Screaming Eagle, I already knew that much. BUT some people have told me that a pipe is a pipe, is a pipe... and it's cheap. I was just wondering, that's why I asked. I in no way plan to pick one up unless a few people post up saying they have that specific one and suggest for me to buy one. I just noticed it and figured I'd ask, thanks for the info guys!

On a side note, my GF's Grandma is selling a Dyna Lowride and I know she has aftermarket pipes and seat on it. I'm assuming I can get her stock pipes for almost nothing. What about the seat....? Has anyone put a Dyna seat on a Savage before?

Make sure the Dyna muffler is the one that bolts right up using its existing bracket and has no holes to weld shut. We've seen posts here from people who had to make alterations to their Dyna mufflers trying to make them fit, when all you have to do is get the right model and then its a simple bolt-up, like mine was.

I do have that pipe, it has a nice loud thump to it. Installing it was somewhat of a pain. You have to drill a hole to make the mounting bracket work. It also is a might bit bigger than the header so you will have to find something to seal it up, I"m still looking for something better than a soda can. The mounting bracket is a basic U-bolt.

Loud yes.... I really like the looks though.

Looks like a Sportster version. I have a Dyna model.

I actually made a baffle for the input side which made it less "poppy".

It has a single wall so it's bluing. Just got some HD heat shields to replace the factory one.
