I have read and re-re-re-read the muffler posts. And I listened to the Savage Sounds. I think the Dyna is a noise I could like and a price I could live with.
A few things I'm confused about: Is the "Dyna" a model of Harley? Or is the Dyna a model of muffler? It would be nice not to make a complete jackass of myself at the Harley dealer. It's better to do that here.
I took this number off my Harley muffler: HARFXD1450
I have this on my Savage. It's bracket bolted to my Savage bracket without alteration. The Savage head pipe did not slide all the way up to it's shoulder stop, into the neck of the Harley muffler. It stopped about 5/16" from the shoulder stop. I used the Harley clamp that came with the muffler. With the Savage heat shield on, you can't see the neck of the muffler. It hasn't leaked nor come loose.
I looked on Ebay and there are about 1000 different Dyna mufflers. Am I correct that any of them will bolt right on the Savage, but that I want to make sure I get one without the crossover pipe?
I know all of this has been asked a hundred times. But before you get too hacked at me, do a search on "muffler" or "dyna" and look at the hordes of data that appear. It's too much for my pea brain to digest.
If I just stroll in there and tell them "I need a take-off from a Dyna of any year, shape, or color," am I going to walk out with a plug and play, clamp it on and ride muffler?
I really do hate asking, but I just ain't gettin' it.
