Status: offline 		It is louder then a stock pipe for sure but its alot quieter then a HMF  and gives good power gains.
it does not sound as nice as a HMF , maybe its alittle more rasby (sp)  or "tinne" sounding.? i think it sounds fine though.

yes that is the bracket that i made for the HMF i used to have on it and i just made a bracket to go to that because i used to take the HMF off and run this muffler some times, bascily i could run either muffler with a 10min swap time.

I guess I will go up to a muffler shop and ask if they can mount it.   My welding skills are about as good as a 2 year old hand writing.

Status: offline 		shoot i did not weld anything, thats a 3.5" muffler clamp and a peice of flat steel thats on the muffler. and when i change it all i will do is take out the extra bracket and move the main bracket back and make the flat steel peice longer to reach the frame.
mounted it to the head pipe with a simple muffler clamp.

Status: offline 		yeah its got one muffler clamp at the head pipe (think its s 1 1/2" clamp) then half way down its got ( i think ) 3 1/2" muffler clamp and put it on . i then took a 1 1/4" flat peice of steel drilled two holes in it so it would fit on the 3 1/2" clamp and then bolted it on then drilled a hole in the other end to bolt to the frame or in my case the bracket i allready had on there. real simple, cheap and easy to do.

Status: offline 		pretty much   the AC-3 muffler fits on the 05 and down head pipe real nice well just like the stock muffler does anyway.  the 06 and newer head pipes are bigger and will take a different muffler .

yes the AC-3 just slides right on just like the stock one no cutting of anything.

the 06 and up head pipe is larger so a person will need to find a muffler that has a larger pipe to fit over it and have it flared out to fit up against the gasket like the stock one does. just wil take alittle more work to get it down is all.

Status: online 		Just an FYI.  The 06 and newer bikes use the ac2 or ac4.  They are a direct bolt on just like the ac1 and ac3 was for the 05's.  The ac2 and ac4 mufflers are the exact same, the only difference is the inlet and outlet pipes are different lengths between the two, same diameter though.

Status: online 		Hey guys im on the fence  its either a AC-1 tractor pipe or a Cherry Bomb glass pack.    The AC-1 will fit in the inlet pipe cause they are the same size.  The Cherry bomb has 2inch inlet but which one do you think would sound better?
