Somewhere along the line some people have confused the peashooter mufflers with the balogna (balony) mufflers. The stock mufflers on a Bonneville are Balogna mufflers..,.. The mufflers on a Thruxton and similar are peashooters. The peashooter muffler are tapered on the ends where the balogna pipes are round and then go to a smaller round diameter. Hope this helps clarify the confusion! If you dare to dispute me please disclose your age!

Toga, Toga, Toga :-D :-D :-D Whatever style they are called. A young 63, but I would not know much about silencer history since my '66 BSA Hornet came from the factory without silencers--didn't have speedo or lights either, but ran like heck. :-D

Toga on Redbird! I can go for that. As it was explained to me many years ago, a person used to have to go to the butcher shop and buy their bologna. ( yes kiddies, bologna has not always been prewrapped and packaged) So when the bologna ( or salami, whatever. bologna was cheapest) was wrapped it was rolled in butchers paper and twisted on the ends and sometimes tied. Hence the shape of the mufflers. interesting theory, eh?

I'm still confused by the term pea shooter, the exert from the Triumph website describing the T100 states:
"The T100's new, full-blooded, 865cc, air-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder engine gives a throaty performance echoed by the mellow backbeat from its twin pea-shooter exhaust pipes..."
Yet,Norton called their reverse cones peashooters,too.
I just received an order from Jack Lilley Co. thinking they were the reverse cones and ended up with the "bologna style".

I always thought that peashooters are the elongated reverse cones with small outlets typically seen on old Nortons. That is to say, the stock Thruxton mufflers are reverse cones but the ones pictured here are peashooters.

The stock Bonnie pipes are teardrops or baloney pipes.

What do the salami pipes look like? :razz:

I always referred to the stock mufflers on my T100 as "Mike & Ike" pipes but bolagna fits better. What are the "Ray Guns"?

VR6 :-D

Like balogna pipes,but with bigger chunks of snout and hooves. :-D
