550F custom muffer question
« on: October 20, 2007, 04:58:16 PM »
I just bought a 550f exhaust for my 550k and I would like to put a different style muffler on it. I really like the old school trumpet mufflers or the dunstall mufflers. My question is none of them seem to have a big enough opening for the header and I am worried if I use a reducer that it would hurt the performance.

something like this.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chrome-Dunstall-style-Muffler-reverse-cone-shorty_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34284QQihZ016QQitemZ260171928316QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

you'll have difficulty making the F headers work with a K frame. it's doable, but not without some work. the entire right side foot controls on an F are different to clear the headers. if i were you, i'd figure that out before you buy a muffler.

Hmm, cancel that order. Looks like I have a MAC exhaust in my near future.
