For those worried about the "tinny" sound, I think you'll find that the
steel muffler versus the stainless muffler will give you less.....the
softer metal absorbs the extra vibration.

Bob -
I put the Falcon on my BJ8 several years ago. Made sure to put new rear
springs and nestled the mufflers up as close to the chassis without
touching. Having done that, only hit the mufflers twice in 15 years.
For the BN1 BN2 I would recommend the bell silencer over the Falcon, it is a
very nice system, not tinny.
The falcon system on my BJ8 does not sound tinny at all, and in fact after
the carbon builds up a bit inside, it gets a bit quieter.
