I cant remember the intricacies of exhaust back pressure, and whether it is desirable or not.. (a little , but not too much is good, iirc...and I"d also like to make an evacu-sump set-up soon, so definitely don't want much back pressure for that to work..).</div><div><br></div><div>There seems to be baffled and unbaffled hotdogs available, some with louvred internal but otherwise a straight through path, and others with an off-centre chamber to bounce the sound waves around a bit more.</div><div><br></div><div>Is anyone using such a muffler ? is it too loud? does it sound good?</div><div><br></div><div>Considering the noise levels that every 2nd Harley Davidson seems to get away with, I don't want to be that loud, or harsh on the ears.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers for input..</div><div><br></div><div>Andy</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"></div></div></body></html>
