Default Sawicki mandrel bent pipe
I just installed mine and really like it, but it does have a tinney, hollow sound. Has anyone put in any stainless packing and will that help ( it only has the perforated baffle ). I like the overall note but just want to kinda tone down the hollow effect.

The exhaust looks good on there..

From the pics it looks like they don't step the headers, or do they?

This is the mandrel bent version so I ordered it from Western Power Sports about 2 weeks ago. They had it in stock.

He does offer a stepped version but I believe it is made to order. This version is being sold through Western Power Sports.

Usually, the baffles are rebuildable, meaning yes you can add/subtract additional fiberglass packing for sound.
I don't run Sawicki (I run JBV Racing) so I would call Sawicki if I were you but several of the baffles used in these Meg's are similar.
BTW, pipe looks good and the "tinny" sound is common in thin stainless.
I black wrapped my head pipes about 2/3 down, which muffles the overall sound as well.
