Here's the decibel data and BMW part number on one of the LS mufflers.

The imprint is actually closer to the header than the end of the muffler. I had not remembered this correctly... as my bride may willingly testify.

1983 BMW R65

I was afraid you were talking about that nonsense. I've heard of guys grinding off that writing or brazing it up, or?, and getting them re-chromed. Sometime in the 90s I think replacement mufflers were coming with that junk. Wonder if they still are?

I don't think it was a California thing, but some sort of big brother federal requirement. You know, law makers gotta make laws - that's what they're paid for. I like the Will Rogers quip "thank goodness we don't get all the governments we pay for".

You've got two sets, Monte? How much do you want for them?

I dunno, 'spokes.

Suecanada is sorta kinda halfway interested in the pair I photo posted with the 'noise' data. Will let her have right of first refusal for her LRB. I'll keep you in the loop.

Pair numero dos is a rust n' dent free, non-debossed and repainted with semi-gloss hi-temp black.

Both pairs were on my R65s which now rock Dunstall-style peashooters; one pair stainless 8-) and the other chrome.

PM me if you'd like to make an offer. I ain't thinking their, like, gold or anything. Have to figure safe packing and shipping cost. At your convenience, if you'd like.

Gee, I sold an R65 speedo couple days ago. Am I in bid-niz? :D

Nah, just supporting your habbit. 8-)

I like the look and sound of the LS mufflers I've got, but they're looking kind of tired. It'd be nice to have them restored. I'm afraid to make an offer - you might take me up on it and then I'd have to scrape up the cash.  :)
