Like i said above I'm very impressed with Porter for everything you mentioned above.

Which ones did you order? Were they for a flathead, sorry if I missed that part?

Love to hear what you think once installed.

For an update. I did call Porter and spoke with the sales tech. I asked some very pointed questions about there product and how it stacked up against other mufflers. He was very candid and helpful. Here are a few of my impressions.

1. The mufflers are packed with Stainless Steel not Fiberglass. Glass-packs tend to change tone over time as the fiberglass burns away, steel- packs keep their tone.

2. The muffler casing is made out of a heavy grade steel and the design and construction has not changed since 1931.

3. I was told that they have many customers that have been running the same porter mufflers for 20+ years.

4. The design does hot have a harmonic drone when driving on the highway.

5. They are still made in the USA!

6. On U-Tube there is a lot of videos on how they sound.

I am not trying to sell one muffler over another just sharing my impressions. I did end up purchasing a set for my Roadster.
