[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 43796, member: 2781"] Triumphs in the 50-60s used mufflers by Burgess . Lovely tone , not too loud , get quieter with age and fast . A straight through glas PAC type . Later ones had a Bobby spoon by law to reduce noise , it reduced power too . The correct one has a 1& 3/4 inch inlet so needing a bit of shimming to accept our 1& 5/8inch pipe . Did I say they have the best chrome ever ? We are still using one I bought in the 50s , it's on Matt's Shadow . Plating still lovely . It's gotten very quiet over the years , quieter than a Vincent unit in fact . Coventry Spares sold lovely replicas of these , may still have them . A different shape than a Vincent muffler but damn handsome . Burgess also made some very nice Vincent pattern mufflers some years back . I know a weird trick that will quieten any muffler , glas PAC or metal baffel . Bet none of you can guess it in a million years . Sid . [/QUOTE]
