Re: Commando Specialtities Shorty Peashooter Big Bore Muffle
EPCO has been "silent" for over 2 years, I was amazed that the website is still active (Go Daddy must be the ISP...), The muffler part of that business was moved to Nicaragua about 3 years ago and they stopped producing all together about a year ago. EPCO's reputation went into the toilet after many people waited months and months and ended up loosing their money. I recommend, highly, that you attempt to speak with Tom Epperson (owner, former owner??) before spending a penny to see if you can judge his level of sincerity about actually producing what you want to purchase. I still have a set of his stainless header pipes for a Norton that were so badly bent they have become wall hangers; attempts to get them fixed or exchanged were as fruitful as trying to empty the Atlantic ocean with a beach pail, and I was one of his dealers!!!
The Commando Specialties headers and peashooters, in chrome, are one of the best fitting systems out there and at the advertised price are a good value. Staintune and Keihan Systems produce equally nice stainless systems at higher prices, and when CNW puts out the Norton exhaust systems count on them to be superb, Matt really sweats the details, the chateaubriand of Norton exhaust systems.

stockie2 said:try EPCO they are in the US and make a top shelf stainless pea shooter. After suffering 3 broken Emgo mufflers. They tend to break where they attach to the header, I bought some EPCO, they sound really good and the finish is spot on. Also they are narrower at the junction of the taper and the stub that attaches to the header, so more clearance on the kick starter that is not a bad thing.
