Ok. Here’s some info I got from xsdirect today and a variety of previous emails
maybe it will help others. they have 2 commando Systems. One for standard xs and one for specials. Both systems use the same pipes (1.5 od) part #07-0754 and muffler - 07-0065 (1.75 id) which require reducers. Only diff is the hardware kit required to install to either a special or standard xs.
In a different communication before I ordered, they informed me that the only diff btw the 2 commando mufflers is in the baffle. 0015 has a dyno tuned baffle, 0065 is a regular baffle. They did say that 0065 “should” be a tad quieter, so since the kit comes with the 0065 mufflers, and I like quiet, I figured the special kit would be best for me.
And finally, when asked if they had a commando system that fits 1.5 pipe to muffler with no reducers required - the answer was no.
Now for the pictures on their site(s)... some show reducers some don’t. Completely confusing, inconsistent and really no help at all. Lol. Eg... Look at mikes commando system for specials with “upswept” pipes!!! (07-0764). Those mufflers actually look like they have a very small inlet.... but alas, the spec says muffler used is #00-0065 which we already know is 1.75” and also the system is “sold out”... I wonder what makes them sold out... because both the mufflers 0065 and upswept pipes are still available to buy separately.., hmmmmm.
So... I don’t know how you guys got commando systems with mufflers that fit without reducers. Perhaps mikes did sell them at one time, but don’t anymore. If you remember how you did it and where you got them ... please share
