Anyone running these?
Curious how well they flow exhaust gas-if they’re fairly straight through or have a lot of packing, baffles, etc in the way.

I have them. When I got them I installed just one so that I could compare them, side by side, against stock to some extent.
Not much louder at idle or mild throttle. Considerably lighter, as is obvious. Meaningfully more narrow and being straight horizontal, allows for larger panniers. And by a very crude, low grade anemometer the flow was sorta, maybe 30% better. The chrome is still as new, 4th season.
Plus they look like the right decade.

Agree with all points NVDucati made. I've had them for 3 years now. They are excellent "bang for the buck". Quite subdued burble at light throttle but they sound like my long departed air cooled Ducati SS under full throttle. They still polish up nicely, although the bike is garage kept and I only ride on dry days.

Downsides. Left side muffler blocks rear axle removal. Also, both mufflers block lower shock bolt removal. Mufflers fit very snug to head pipes; lots of wiggling during install and removal. Some smarter folks here probably know less tedious methods.

I've always wanted a 2 into 1 exhaust on the Interceptor, but these inexpensive mufflers just look so correct.

 I have them, like them, and will keep them on. Most of the chrome has flaked off the straight exit section of both pipes, rear of the baffle. I should have paid extra for the stainless steel.

I tried three different sets of mufflers on my Interceptor.  The AEW 201 pair were my favorites for looks and sound and the price was terrific.
