Got a set on mine

Yeah...... no real complaints

Down sides -
* they use the large 3 point flange. This "can" buckle and leak. The small flange is better

* the muffler rusts and looks like dogs balls hanging there. I cut mine up and got a mate to tuck it up behind the back wheel. Much neater

Or a nice straight thru 2 inch generic sports muffler, just if u go this option, put some bends in the pipe after the collector, as with it turing 90 degrees and then going through the muffler it is very noisey!!!! and my neighbors hate me!!!!:cussing

but at least i always have a look like 😀 this

Thanx guys.
I did have a set with a hot dog on the split but it had to be replaced. I got a brand new T'bird and put it on but the 'note' is'nt as nice as the old one(sounds to much like a beetle)
I might try and get another muffler later.

Doubt it will fit.

1200 is narrower than a 1300-1600 block.

Then - it may be a set for a 1200, but tehy are rare
