Are those EMGOs, or a different brand? Kinda hard to tell, but they look and sound good. Where did you get them from? Did a quick google search for "Burgess Exhaust" but had no results.

Short story: They're not EMGO's. They are imported/made to spec/custom by this guy in LA. He sells them on E-bay occasionally. I paid about $225 for mine. I've had people tell me they are Brituro replicas or Burgess style mufflers. So that's what I've called them.
Long story: When I got my 04, back in 04, i had my dealer order a set of new pipes - NH togas to be exact. They called their supplier, I think JRC engineering in LA, for a set of pipes. Well what came weren't chrome togas but these stainless steel pipes and they were about half the price of togas. they looked nice and the price was nice, so i took them anyway. Put them on and WOW! big difference over stock :P
Last year, my 04 was stolen

. I got a new 06 and wanted the same pipes. Asked dealer to order another set. Well the story is that JRC was sold out and wasn't sure when they'ld get more. Then it turned out they weren't going to get any more. Not wanting EMGO's (not impressed with construction-don't like the seem at the tailpipe or sound-too tinny) or Togas (too expensive and not deep/loud/throaty enough), i decided to do my own research.
JRC first said they had them made to spec and wasn't going to be making anymore. Then I found a pair on Ebay. I emailed the seller and he claimed to have had them made and was distributing thru JRC and a few other places, but decided to sell more vintage triumph stuff. Occasionally getting these. Well I made sure I got the set on Ebay. Since then I've only seen them one other time from the same seller. The ebay seller ID is: pbprotriu
So that's what I know about these.
