I have Magnaflows on my 55.
I also had cherrybombs before finishing up.
the cherrybombs had more regular thump at idle than the magnaflows.
the magnaflows sound better at near full throttle.

Workin on a shoestring budget, i had an extra rt side exhaust for my '90 Suzuki Katana 750 motorcycle laying about. turns out it it was the same diameter pipe as my '53 215 6 popper. I cut the pipe, got a coupling and salvaged a couple of clamps, and taaa daaa, free exhaust. not only was there a frame member in line with the mounting tab welded on the skooter muffler, but it actually sounds pretty darn good. and it's chrome to boot lol

I'm thinking straight pipes, 2" er's, I'll clamp on a couple old mufflers for the inspection first though. All the harley guys around here, and there are lots of them, run straight pipes, so it won't be too noticeable...maybe except four times louder.....lol.
