| | Bob,
I hate to add another post to the list on this subject but I wanted to |
| | you that I think the MAC's are the best way to go. They aren't the |
| | solution but I think they look the best. I have a set of original repros |
| | my 69Ambo....has a very nice rumble to them. I put a pair of |
| | the 70Ambo and it is a little louder but it suits the look of "retro
roadster". I will likley put a pair of slashbacks on the Police bike.
Charlie is right....the quality isn't the best but if you take care of |
| | they will last. I have had the pipes on my 69Ambo now for over |
| | they still look good.
If you aren't in a rush you can keep your eyes out for a pair |
if
| | you want to get it over with best place (in my opinion) is to buy from |
| | or Rick.
Cheers...Ian

OK Charlie, and Andy and Mark
What I really want is torpedos with the large opening but |
|
to
| | | | keep costs as low as possible without making my Ambo into a rat bike.
Anyway, I do want something that will fit well and sound good. I
am getting
tired of my after market mufflers that still look good but I have |
|
| | | | the port side so much that it is on it's last legs. And they are, and
always have been, too loud, especially on long trips,which I am
happy to say
I am taking more of since the Ambo and I are getting along much
better these
days. I did consider the Whitney reverse cones awhile ago |
|
| | | | forgot about them. Will look into them again as they look good
on your bike
(nice site by the way!) and are inexpensive. Thanks again |

| | Hi Bob,
What he said! What exactly are you hoping to find? Stock/repros or |
|
|
| | | | | | something that will fit well and sound good?
As we've discussed before my personal choice was a pair of the JC
Whitney (EMGO) "Extra-long Reverse-cone Megaphone Mufflers (item #
AGE017566B) now $63 ea., but $49.49 ea. when I bought mine. |
|
|
| | | | | | little longer than the ones Andy mentioned. Fit well, good quality,
sound good too. Pics in my "Parts" album at:
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/amboman4
To mount them all I had to do was use one reducer, shorten the |
|
|
| | | | | | bracket and bend a little offset into it. Easy!
Most of the stock style repro "torpedos" I've seen have the small
European outlet and are too quiet for my tastes. The repro |
|
|
| | | | | | Frankfurters (slashbacks) look nicer and probably sound better as |
|
|
| | | | | | If I remember correctly either style will cost around $375/pr.
Most of the MACS I've seen leave me unimpressed with the quality for |
|
|
| | | | | | $. EPCO makes some very nice stainless steel repros of both styles, |
|
|
| | | | | | is approx. $475/pr. including crossover and clamps last I looked.
Several Loopers have mentioned poor muffler to headpipe fit with |
|
|
| | | | | |
I got really lucky and scored a pair of good used "torpedos" at the
Italian Moto-Fest for $30. Good chrome and solid, but with a nasty |
|
|
| | | | | | stain on one, scratches and a few small dings on the other. They'll |
|
|
| | | | | | good on "Freebie" though.
Like Andy, I have a set of stock mufflers which are in pretty rough
shape. The chrome is ... what chrome? And the crossover spigots have
been welded back on by some chicken crapping apparently. |

Bob-
unless ya really have an affinity for the torpedoes, j.c. whitney |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | some
really excellent dunstall re-pops for about $50.00 ea. they have a
removable, re-packable baffle, and really look/sound nice! we just
ordered a
set for the '70 ambo. i do have 2 sets of stock mufflers, but they |
|
|
|
| | | | | | | | not
in nice condition.
andy
