Braveteacher used one on his Cafe' build. Go to reply #28.

There was another fellow that did it also....can't remember his post. The factory red paint turned black and peeled off in no time.

Since most glass packs are built for cars - you most likely won't fine one with the 1-3/4" diameter that the stock header is......and the Harley DYNA muffler has a 1-1/4" tube down the center of that muffler. You may end up with difficulty in jetting the carb if the glass pack is just straight through and offers little restriction to the pressure waves. Big singles with a single exhaust act like big twins with dual exhaust......our engine should have some baffling in the exhaust.

This guy had a 26" long case and was far quieter than the MAC it replaced. The muffler came from Pertronix, but they do not list the inlet sizes anymore, you will need to actually talk to a human.

Now, I'll toss in my two cents. The Dyna is the best Bang for buck. Looks and sounds good, power boost. Cheap and well built.

If you are going to use a glass packed muffler on your scoot DON'T START IT IN YOUR GARAGE UNTILL THE PACKING HAS BEEN BROKEN IN!! Tried it once and it took a couple weeks to clean up all the fiberglas dust that blew out of the muffler. Man what a itchy mess I made by doing it. Angry

Sporty's or Dynas are the way to go. Cherry Bomb mufflers have been used also.

I had a glass pack for a while, was too freakin' loud. I mean, I liked it around town, but felt like puncturing my eardrums on a long trip, just to get away from the noise. And the cops didn't think it was too clever either. Still have the same pipe, but cut up the glass pack and made it into a proper baffle, which works well and sounds nice.

Different equals trailblazing. That means asking questions about jetting and solving possible low torque or low top end,well, if no one else has been there , no one else has experience to offer you help from.
If you want to get it running nice, sounding good, looking good, Dyna..quick,cheap,easy, quality, I wasted a lot of money,, I did the Supertrap,

I put a Thrush glass pack on mine. The red paint lasted until I reached the end of the road. A bit of an exaggeration, but it didn't last long. Along with burning the paint, the fiberglass burned out within hours. I have a piece of Harley custom exhaust pipe that is the correct size for my header as a drag pipe. I stuck a simple baffle in it (I can't remember if it was 8" or 10" long) and it is as loud as I like with a decent tone. It was easy to modify the factory exhaust hanger to make it work.
