Anyone even seen these?

Or maybe even used these? Just came across them, but I think they would bump the peak hp out of my range with such little back pressure.

Re: Anyone even seen these?

I think purple hornies are flowtech brand.

They are the same as any other glasspack though.

I think they'd be nice IMO, might have trouble with a crossmember though.

Re: Anyone even seen these?

do they sound good? really loud or not? and do they give enough backpressure to keep the peak power in the mid rpm range?

Re: Anyone even seen these?

I had some purple hornies with long tube headers. They actually sounded pretty authoritative and they had some deep rumble. Idle and cruise were moderately loud, and full throttle was LOUD. Reminded me of Smokey and the Bandit, except the twisting the motor to 7000RPM part...
