    I just finished installing my chrome Daytona's and the install went pretty well. I did struggle a little with the tabs but got it done. On the left-side muffler (the second one I installed), I lightly lubed the tabs with silicone grease and that seemed to help. I didn't do that on the right-side muffler and it didn't go on quite as far so I may have to loosen it, back it off and lube the tabs, and go at it again. Still, I am very happy with the fit and finish of these mufflers and the sound is exactly what I was hoping for.

    FWIW, here's my review of this product. First, I'm glad I bought these as they are well-made, fit great, look good, and sound good. The only negative is that they do make for a bit of "drone" noise at highway speed. I guess that's to be expected for after market mufflers that offer a deeper tonal quality.

    Thanks for the update. Now I just need mine to show up on my door step so I can install and enjoy.

    So put in the optional additional baffles for the long trips and take them out again for the boulevard cruise.

    Of course, I could do that and probably get back close to factory sound level which is pretty much silent. The main reason for installing the TorqMasters to begin with was so I could hear the motor at least a little bit and that part worked out fine. When I posted about being a bit of drone, I intentionally inserted the word "bit". What I hoped to convey was not so much a complaint but simply a recognition that there is significantly more droning or humming noise at highway speed. I'm not sure yet that this is going to actually be a problem for me but some might not like it and that's the reason for even mentioning it. I will say this...in a car, this definitely could get on someone's nerves but on a bike, it may be considered music

    Once I hear "drone", I'm usually out. My Harley's had slightly louder pipes, but were almost silent at freeway speed. My Camaro exhaust isn't loud but drones at speed and it sucks...

    ANNOUNCMENT

    Jimmy of Torq Master is back in the area but has had a family emergency pop up. He doesn't have forum capability to get on all the F6B forums, but wants me to communicate that he will be back up and running shortly after dealing with this situation. Please be patient.

    I have had mine for a while now. I really like them. They are good quality and look like they are going to holdup well over time. Mine are really mellow. I get no "drone" at any speed and can hear the radio at 80 mph. I am very glad I chose Torq Masters.
