Below is four versions of mufflers I am now taking orders on, in Stainless and Carbon Fiber. Both come with a db-killer. With the db-killer installed, the sound is slightly above stock muffler volume. Removed it gives a nice, deep Guzzi sound. Price for the first shown below (stainless) will be $549.95 and the carbon version will be $689.95 shipped within the lower 48 U.S. Both will clear the factory bags using the OEM bracket, or to run in the higher position, just remove the OEM bracket and rotate up as with the stock muffler, shown below. A high-mount version (shown at bottom) for the Sport 1200 (run *without bags only*) will be available to order only for $629.95 stainless/$769.95 carbon. Contact me direct for any details; Todd at GuzziTech.com

Sound would be slightly more to the Sport 12, and noticeably more-so then the Norge can w/db-killer installed. Thanks, and yes, my meg will be similar shape to the one shown below that we build for the Griso 11/8V. Even with our db-killer installed on the system below, it's still sounds like a '60s muscle-car w/duals.

Thanks Zapa, sound recordings are always "iffy" IMO, as you're really limited to the computer speakers. Shipping is within the lower 48 U.S., corrected above. Thanks. We can/will happily ship outside of the U.S. but cost seems to get pricey fast due to the size of the box, though with the low pipes pictured above, it shouldn't be all too bad.

Slightly more to the 1200Sport sounds good. . . but if I read between the lines, the meg isn't really usable on the road on early Sunday mornings?

I largely agree with that, most recordings are of no use. But if you should make a recording from the original pipe from a certain distance and angle, change the exhaust and make a second recording wthout changing the distance/angle perhaps it would give some impression?

Being Italian made, isn't it possible to ship it directly from Italy to somewhere else in Europe? (When bought from you of course. . .)
I think the looks of the new exhaust is very attractive. How is the mounting? with screws or welded (on the pipe). Do you have a picture how simple/difficult the db-killer could be removed? What are the benefits for putting this exhaust on my bike? In addition to look and sound? I mean, far as I know, not every exhaust will make that the bike runs(?) better, are they already being test?

Arguable I guess... if you don't want to disturb the neighbors, and you think that anything beyond a stock muffler is acceptable, then for sure not.

See post above.

The mufflers are made in Italy, however all functionality is by GuzziTech, so they would be available direct from us only.

Thanks, and the stainless is by bolted bracket into the reinforced body, and the carbon will have a matching carbon perimeter-fitted strap. The db-killer has one bolt from the bottom, and pull out... very simple. Additional benefits: Above mufflers are in excess of 10 lbs./4.5kg lighter then the stock muffler. I will try to get some dyno numbers, but it won't be until early next year at this point. Following is a glorified quote from one of the other muffler manufacturers, which I can guarantee these would be similar to... no dyno graphs are shown:
On development using the in-house Dyno we achieved a six horsepower improvement right through the range. Torque was increased at the right spots and there are significant gains right from the bottom through the mid-range. On the road is where the gains are truly appreciated - the throttle response through mid-range is instant and smooth and feels like more then a 6 hp increase. Throttle roll on is also smooth and responsive and has removed any hesitation. What about the noise? Restrictors in: 82 dba @ 3500 rpm Restrictors out: 89~93 dba @ 3500~4500 rpm

Frank, I think most bikes to date are running slip-ons with no fueling modification(s). The 02-sensor will keep the fueling (as super lean as) the OEM programed target AFR, and the fueling above the closed-loop portion is a little on the rich side. Pretty much bolt on and go ordeal... although controlling the fueling makes it all the better. That help clarify?
