I've got what you want The muffler with the racing advantage The XDUSORI!!> has less than half the back-pressure of the next best muffler or muffler/spark arrestor. Don't take my word for it. Check the latest USDA Forest Service "Qualified and Rated" list of motorcycle spark arrestors. And it eliminates up to 90% of the tailpipe noise. By far the largest noise reduction of any add-on muffler or muffler/ spark arrestor. The XDUSOR prevents overscavenging, thereby giving up to a 30% boost in low-end power-without hurting top-end performance. It provides increased power output, throttle response, and RPM range on both 2- and 4-cyclli engines with either a tuned or stock exhaust. The aerodynamically designed XDUSOR is light (19 oz.), compact (5" x 2") , and so rugged it's guaranteed against failure. See your dealer. Get the racing advantage with an XDUSOR-S muffler or an XDUSOR-II muffler/spark arrestor. Chuck Lampe may be the t ric kest dud e in Ar izona.
