Mistakenly purchased 1.5" Commando Muffler from MikesXS when I needed a 2". I'm going to try to return it to Mikes, unless someone has a 2" muffler they'd be willing to trade. Can do trade plus cash for certain mufflers. Let me know.
 
Yeah... Seems like they're typically 1.5". My guess is that the PO threw on 2-1 headers from a different bike for whatever reason. I'm wondering if I could just slip the muffler I have into the exhaust, rather than slip it on.
 
Oh hadn't even though about 2into1. That makes sense. I just scored n.o.s. m.c.m. 1-3/4 tt pipes new in wrappers. Mint. And those r huge compared to 1.5". Mikes shouldn't have a problem swapping for the 2" u would think...
 
Solid score. I don't think Mikes carries anything that will fit a 2". In fact, I've only found a handful of mufflers that would fit a 2" exhaust, and they're all fairly expensive.
 
Ya super solid. Almost 50 years old. For the first CPL models. Gotta brag a little. Check these out. Wish I could help. I have some 1.5 2-2 headers and some 1-3/4 mufflers...nothing 2" though. Could probably whip up an adaptor if u gave me dimensions...

Dang, where were those guys hiding? I've seen some NOS headers, but those things seem almost impossibly clean haha. I might just ship the muffler I got back to Mikes and buy something different. I'm thinking about trying this out:

Down the road I can see myself swapping out for a new 2-1 system with a more conventional OD. The headers I have right now aren't exactly pristine as it is, but I just want to get this bike on the road already.
 
Found em on eBay for like nothing. Nobody else bid on auction...couldnt believe it...I stole them...n.o.s. in wrappers. Almost to nice to even run on a bike. Sure I'll NEVER find a set like this again. Great score!
 
Was just going to say that. There's some Mac 2" turnout mufflers on eBay for $30+ship right now. Look pretty clean

Damn, thanks for the tip. Have you used turnouts before? I've heard they can be kind of loud, though those seem longer than the standard slash-cut mufflers I've seen on chopper projects.
 
I would assume they b loud. I'm a straight pipe kinda guy tho, so... Haha Ive got a set of werkes USA mufflers if u want to spend some real coin.... Definitely working on getting my chop to that standard. Just gold plated my spoke nipples! And the majority of bike is billet alluminum. Course I have to trash this TC Bros frame and build a legit one now. Start all over...again....
