I put a muffler on my deuce quite a while ago - it's a flow through design,
outside mount. I don't seem to see any real difference in power, but on the
other hand there's only a small difference in noise also. Maybe a bit
"throatier". Noise went from 111Db to 106Db. Let me know if you want to see
a photo - it was a pretty clean installation. I was going to do an article
for MV magazine, but still haven't got around to it.
