The only thing I would be concerned about would be the Baffle size so it would tune decent  :SM:
Some of those might sound good but don't really help the curve,most of the time Tuners have a tried and trued system that works, And the more engine PREFORMANCE you go after the more important the exhaust becomes........  :wink:
2 Bikes and 2 Beemers, that's what I have been told 😳

Doesn't Fuel Moto offer a set of slip ons for $200?  I think I'd go that route.

The Fuel Moto Jackpot Slip-on Classic mufflers are $199. Just throwing them out there for a comparison on pricing and known quality.

The DNA are most likely made at the same place as the demon mufflers

How about asking in the swap meet section here for a quality used set?

I ran Fullsac recore kits on my 2010 and will go that route again.
I am an adult?? When did that happen, and how do I make it stop?!

Thanx Mike,  this bike has never been tuned. Carb is still sealed, ignition and cams are stock.Only mods are K&N air filter and slip on mufflers. It has always performed well for my use. 90% 2 up touring. , I don't run it hard, especially now  getting close to the 100,000 mi mark..

Thanx Phil,  I looked at was there but didn't ask. 

The problem I'm seeing is shipping cost depending where they are shipping from.. Close destinations are around $25.00   and further out as high as $70.00 

Kind takes the thrill out of a good deal on a used set..

I think I saw the DNA Megaphones are USA made.. Looked at so many now I could be wrong.  There is a knock off of that same pipe for around $30.00 less made in Taiwan.

Went back and looked around, they are made in the US
   
DNA SPECIALTY, INC
Manufacturer Part Number:   
M-TP-1004
Finish:   CHROME   Country//Region of Manufacture:   UNTIED STATES


Megaphones have a special place in my heart.. LOL    1960 CH with magneto ignition. with upswept megaphones..

Thanx PoorUB for that suggestion, I have looked at fullsac. Just to eliminate the crossover and make true duals.

I bought a pair of these chinese slip ons couple of years ago. Didnt need them, just always wanted a pair of turn outs. Not too loud and pretty good chrome for the money. $165 as I recall. But they cracked. Had to throw em out after 2 years.

PM me I have a Fullsac tru dual conversion that I took off while doing my rocker gasket leak/rebuild and a set of 06 stock mufflers with cats removed and Howitzer end caps if your interested

I have to agree with the previous posts about the 2010 and later OEM mufflers on an older bike.
I am running 2010 takeoffs on my '03 UltraClassic and they sound just as good as the old Kerker SE 98B's that I took off because of rust and scratches.

Thanx for the reply apendejo,  The more I look at those megaphones and read review on them it's all positive..Better I like them.. Made in USA to.. I priced some late model OEM's on Ebay and did not find any deals..  I have a set of OEM mufflers and just not liking the look.  They were on the bike when I went to pick it up new Sept. 11 2000.. I rode it and turned around and had the dealer put the mufflers I now have on . Never made it home with the stock mufflers. Always loved Fishtails and megaphones back in the day..   Ya I'm old as Dirt..well refined dirt

Thanks for pointing that out.  I obviously must have missed it when reading thru the comments.

If you want a set of take offs, I have some late model mufflers you can have for free.  Just pay the UPS.

Thanx Phil,  very much appreciate the offer. I think I'm going to go with the DNA megaphones.
