Where can I get a large diameter (I.D.) muffler?
« on: October 20, 2010, 09:39:00 AM »
I have a 550F Super Sport header that I plan to run on my CB500. It's the factory 4-1 header. I have an old Jardine muffler for it. I'll bead blast it and see how it turns out, but I was looking around for some reverse cone style mufflers to fit the collector and everything is too small. I think the Dunstall or megaphone type muffler in chrome would look nice.

The Jardine has a 2 5/16" I.D. What is available out there for a large collector?

Barring that, rather than use flat or satin black exhaust paint, is there a textured paint I can use (in black) for the muffler? Something like on the modern Triumph or Nightster style engine cases?

Scott,

What did you end up finding for your resolution? I am in the same situation and looking for something as well. Everything is see is for 1.75 and under.

 MAC offers a chrome muffler for the 550F header that works. I also have a vintage Jardine muffler that fits.
