Hi Bob,
What he said! What exactly are you hoping to find? Stock/repros or just
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. They're a
little longer than the ones Andy mentioned. Fit well, good quality,
sound good too. Pics in my "Parts" album at:

To mount them all I had to do was use one reducer, shorten the mounting
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 Lafranconi
Frankfurters (slashbacks) look nicer and probably sound better as well.
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 the
$. EPCO makes some very nice stainless steel repros of both styles, cost
is approx. $475/pr. including crossover and clamps last I looked.
Several Loopers have mentioned poor muffler to headpipe fit with these.
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 acid
stain on one, scratches and a few small dings on the other. They'll look
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. Ruff! Cheers,
Charlie
Bob- unless ya really have an affinity for the torpedoes, j.c. whitney has 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 are not in nice condition. andy ----- Original Message ----- From: <3haw-@bluefrog.biz> To: <Loopfram-@topica.com> Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 8:57 AM Subject: ANYONE HAVE AMBO MUFFLERS FOR SALE?
