lol
My missus says my mac fistail guzzi is quieter than my honda vtr!
You could see if MArk would swap 'em back?
Some BMW silencer should work. no, wait...the header on those is curved, NM.
JCW has some baffles, but I doubt they will quiet it down at all.
Mine sounded loud to me too. Until I got it out of the shop and up into the
hills for a ride. then it sounded just right. loud enough to hear the
exhaust note as more than a wheeze but not so rowdy it will wake the dead.

A couple of quick twists to the throttle, ignition on, jumper the solenoid and VARRROOOOOMMMM, twenty years of silence vanquished! Man, what a raucous sound the old Ambo makes. Mark had told me that the MAC fishtails would be "a little louder" than the stock mufflers. Yeah, like an F-16 is "a little louder" than a Piper Cub. Talk about utterly Harleyesque, I couldn't believe it was a Guzzi I (and all the neighbors within half a mile) was hearing. It sounded great, but I'm afraid that it may be just a bit more than I would care for on the decibel scale. Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can keep the fishtails but quiet the thing down to a more civilized level? Slip in pipe baffles, maybe?
