I was told like $540. Seams fair to me. It is also made from stainless steel.
CSP will be manufacturing them for Flat 4 and WW. |

That sounds spendy to me. Maybe that shows their Okrasa copy is a great price.

I will let you know tomorrow.
I received a email from Anthony yesterday and he said the OT crank pulleys are getting close. Just a couple more weeks. |

| I received my muffler today. I must say I am very happy with it. The welding is not very nice but then I am in the fabrication industry so I am picky. It is very heavy and should hold up for a long time. I plan on doing some finish work to the welding and then ceramic coat it. I can post some pictures of the poor welding if anyone wants. For $540 the welds should have a better finish to them. I do not know about the fit yet. That will still be a few weeks away. |

Hope it's a better fit than the Flat4 version.

Absolutely. You shouldn't have to rework a $540 (before shipping and tax) muffler of all things.
Post some pics.

I guess on a 40HP engine it does not really matter, I really like the look and the sound anyway  |
