Yep....those suckas are heavy. Seems like a saw a cut-a-way view of one. To me, it looked like they took a thousand ft. long band saw blade and coiled it up inside the muffler body. Love the noise control though. I think the metal inside explains how loud it is on a cold start...and also the weight. Once whatever's inside swells after warm up, it calms down quite a bit. I get along fine with s/c, lt's, cam, and no cats. At cruise, you can hear it a little bit, but nothing objectionalbe. At WOT, it's almost as loud as straight pipes.
The sport is lighter than stock. The touring is heavier than stock.
Mufflers are same...touring vs sport. Touring just has an extra resonator in front of the muffler. I believe that's the case, but have been wrong before
