Here's a question that I've pondered a while.

    Just how much difference in performance is there between the various makes of slip on Mufflers?
    I have Samson Silver Bullets on my SuperGlide. I like them fine and they seem to be okay for the stock engine with minor mods.
    I've been reading Zippers promotions and they claim D&D slip-on mufflers deliver superior performance to other makes on Dynas equipped with the T-max Autotune.
    Now, I like the looks of the D&Ds, they look to be slimmer than the Silver Bullets.
    But I'm not gonna change mufflers just for a little improvement in looks.
    Sound quality isn't an issue either.
    Anyone have any technical advice or just opinions are welcome.

    i think there is a difference in performance between different mufflers, but, i dont think you can feel it in the seat of your pants. i think a dyno would be the only way to tell an increase in performance.......
