Greg,
No, those look like they are just straight pipes, too loud for my tastes. The one's that I have are # ZX070970X They look like old 1960 Harley fishtails and sound nice, not too quite, not too loud....I'm sure the "I must make it all original" guys hate them, but I like the looks of them on my Eldo.

 Doug,
I'm not sure which J.C. Whitney mufflers Greg was referring to, but I
bought two fish-tail mufflers from J. C. Whitney during the Summer of
2003 and they sound just loud enough to get a pedestrian's attention
without having the old folks look at you like you're one of the Hell's
Angels, plus they look really nice....all for about 50 bucks each.
The stock Eldo mufflers were so quite that if I had a Klingon cloaking
device, I could have ridden on any toll road for free...

Greg,
Which $100 exhaust from JC whitney? I've been looking at the
Dunstall's but have not committed as yet. I'm looking for a little
louder
exhaust to replace the original cigar style on my Ambo.

Last weekend was wonderful...shimmed a 850T 5-speed transmission and put

new wirth fork springs in the Ambassador. I took my time and had lot's
of fun. Even showed baby Darby how the Guzzi 5 speed transmission
operates.

Last night I was in a hurry to get a lot of stuff done (if you haven't
already, be sure to key in on the fact that I was in a hurry). I should
have stopped after I spilled half a quart of used motor oil while
changing oil in the car. But no! I just had to get those $100 JC Whitney

free-flow mufflers installed on the Ambo. I was in an awkward position
tightening the 17mm muffler hanging bolt and nut on rear frame...using
way too much force, too. My socket slipped off the bolt and I rammed my
face into the left rear crash bar. It hit right below my left eye and
felt like I had been smacked with a baseball bat - I hit that bar hard.

So, I went inside and Angela put some miracle cream on it. I'm right
back in garage a minute later because those stupid mufflers are going to

get installed tonight!!!!! I do slow down and manage to complete the job

with further incident. Amazingly, Angela's magic cream seemed to have
worked. Neither my cheek nor my eye has turned black and blue, although
my cheek is quite tender to the touch.
