Re: Exhausts & retro noise

?
I'll have another go at armours....I'm fairly
sure the problem lies with the coating they put on under the chrome....
Jon, since there
seems to be a fare amount of people looking to purchase more fishpipes have
you thought of building a few un-chromed sets and we the buyers chrome them
when we receive them?? Just an idea¡

That might work if the mufflers were the only
silencing part, but that huge
tray underneath is part of the silencing.
Also, the note of the exhaust is
derived from the shape ( and thickness of
steel) in the burgess pipes and
the stock mufflers don't work in the same
way. The engine note gets louder,
but in a kind of 'knackered honda twin
with cheap magaphones on' kind of
way.
