Whats the deal with those big flow mufflers? I am putting together a 1600 DP motor with a stock 34 pict 3 carb and putting it in a 71 westy. I would rather but a stock muffler on it, but would it be better to put one of those other monsters on it and what would the bennifits be. Thanks |

The fat boy would over-scavenge that 1600, in other words you need to keep a little of that back pressure for that small motor. A decent header, like an S&S header with a single quiet pack would do just fine. That way you keep the heat risers and stock heater boxes. |

I have a single BugPack QP with a BugPack header and it seems to work well. Has a good sound, not loud or with that raspberry tune, either.
There are 'stock' looking mufflers out of stainless, however. Don't know what kind of power they produce. |

Okay, so my question is, what is the advantage of the header with a single quiet pack muffler over the basic stock muffler.
Thanks |
