I'm interested in these aftermarket mufflers for my black bike. The TBird currently has short Tors.

That may be the way to go...tie in easily to the chrome headers, a pair cost $210. I'm not sure how to support the mufflers at the frame, it should look factory.

They are nice, should suit the bike and IMO look much better than the megaphone look of the short TORS.
What's the inlet like? That has been the tricky bit for me, getting the required angle and diameter increase to mount the 50mm cans and hide it all behind the OEM shields.
Keep us updated on progress?
Nice to see someone else going for something other than simple bolt on options.

1800?? 
Sounds like decat elbows through TORS, didn't like mine in that configuration, too much of a harsh, higher pitched "crack" to it.........not enough bass.
He wants to get his electrics looked at too.
