HARLEY DYNA, seems to be the pick of the litter. Can usually be had for about $30. Check local Harley shops and custom shops to see if someone will sell you a "Factory take off" before you pay shipping and such on Ebay.

Here's the Official Savage.com Harley Muffler guide...

Re: Muffler replacement Reply #3 - 01/02/12 at 17:31:36 Dyna, cheap, available, cuts a ton of weight off the bike & looks tons better. AAAAAAnd it sounds better, too. Or, ya could spend a fortune & get a Supertrapp. Not as pretty but a better performance booster.

Going to use one myself but not going to use both. If you don't have any luck finding one locally I'd sell one at a reasonable price -- pm me if interested.

I'd go that route 1st then the blue job for any blueing you have.

It does work..i spent hours getting almost what the vid shows in 30 seconds.....maybe Triumph chrome is different or i got a bad blue job?

Yeah you do get a tiny bit, but mine seemed to stretch further than expected.. in my opinion the vid doesn't do justice for the stuff because I was able to hand polish a helluva lot more with my hands than I thought.. took me about 30 minutes for the underside of the head pipe...

Went to the closest Harley dealer and got the muffler for free. Throw outs in their opinion. About the down pipe, i decided to get mine ceramic coated semigloss. Now i dont have to worry about blueing or rust. See pics here: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1325038724
