On my beast I have a chambered glasspack AND the flowmaster 3 chamber 
muffler (Their "Quiet" one.... RIGHT!)  I set off alarms and rattle the 
windows in my neighbors house.  On the plus side it flows great and it's 
dead silent above 80mph.... (Tested to past 145mph today.......)

The new set-up hopefully will be quiet AND flow.  I'll let everyone know 
when it's done, Probally in 3 weeks, the rear muffler is comming from 
Italy so I'm at their mercy!


Later!
