These are known good power mufflers, Does it muffle????? I have used them on TT .46 and .50SX as well as GMS .47.

The long bolt holding the outlet on will break. Good luck finding it if it does. I do reccomend you replace it with a 4-40 rod and lock nuts.
This is a cheap performance enhancement!!!!!

i had the same p[roblem. i was flying my easy sport, and half of my muffler fell off. a friend of mine found it more than 6 months later. i had been given that advice long ago, but my dad never got or drove me down to a place where i could get the stuff. it turns out that the bolt snapped in half.

How about the muffler for their .75? Does it give a boost like the .40/.46 sized one does?

Muffle, hmmmmm, its quieter than a straight header, but no where near as quiet as stock.
