We have the S&S Muffler which is $145.  The nice thing about this
muffler is that the tail pipe is welded on to it and also that the
mounting tabs eliminate the expensive muffler carriers and straps.  So
for $145 you get everything you need to replace your muffler.  A brand
new OE muffler is way more expensive especially when you add the cost of
the tail pipe, tail pipe gasket, and straps.  Those parts alone add up
to around $75.  If your muffler carriers are bad tack on another $150
for a new pair of them.  So the S&S muffler is actually cheaper than
just the parts needed to mount the stock muffler.  I wonder why I sell
several of these a week?  :-)
