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
Futue te ipsum!!!

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
