The swing arm is really a non issue because I don't find it unattractive to begin with and when you are close enough to get a good look at the exhaust your are looking down on the swingarm anyway which pops up further when you are sitting on the bike. If you raise the muffler to cover it you only hide it from one angle and you take away from the lines of the Fury. Not a good trade in my opinion. The header pipes are as before 1¾” expanding to 2” and then into a 3” collector which continues on to the 4” muffler containing a baffle with a yet to be determined opening in an effort to maintain backpressure and torque. Dyno testing will determine the internal baffle size and the collector diameter as Fuggin endeavors to maximize the Fury’s torque output which is the seat of the pants feel that predominates during normal use. The cone from the collector to the muffler is a bit abrupt for reasons of economy (prefabed material availability). One of Fuggin’s goals is to keep the price in line with other systems in spite of greater material usage. The rear opening shape of the muffler will evolve as the prototype continues development. Again, so far so great Doug !!! Thanx for the chat today.




A note to fans of the Viper X*, if you really want this and also want to add a specific design element, all it takes is extra money over the standard price. Money talks and i would imagine bs walks.
I applaud the effort and the added choice for for all fury owners with this exhaust system however I might be alone because it is not the look I'm looking for.
