Uh, Paladin, that pipe is fixin' to hit the scrap bin. Looks okay in pictures, and my customers like it. It sounds like, hmm, well, a Troy-bilt 8 horse rototiller. On a good day, it sounds like a small diesel, think VW Rabbit circa early-80s.
You can find "take-off" HD fishtails for 30-60 bucks. I've got at least one of every HD fishtail or rocket tip muffler ever made. Shop has roughly 1/4 TON of used HD mufflers. They'll go to the melt yard when we get sick of tripping over them. 90% have less than 1K miles on them.
You want a GOOD fishtail set-up? Supertrapp has a fishtail end cover that works pretty decent. The reproduction Brough Superior muffler would look great. If you have the bucks, I can get a REAL one. Just the label on the package is worth almost 5 bills...
Emgo units sound alright, but the chrome is pretty thin. Motoasia are complete, unadulterated garbage. I speak from experience, my set-up is the Motoasia junk from JC Whitless.
Harley FXR, XL1200, XL900 mufflers sound good without going overly loud. -WD
