I think Ansa has been a great company to deal with. When I was looking to put the first Ansa on a Crossfire we were actually looking at a differnt model that they had a good supply of them. But that other universal muffler was just a little to long to work in the Crossfire. They were a little disappointed because the one I ended up with was the only one in stock at the time and while they were hoping to create a market for the Crossfire, they were not sure if the muffler we are all using now would stay in production. Thankfully they were able to get more which many of you are now enjoying. I never dealt with Paul but was dealing with a lady who runs the office. She was very honest about the sketchy supply of these mufflers. If you are considering this muffler, I would get one while you can. If you wait, you may be left out or waiting a long time for a new order to be manufactured and sent over from Italy. I have not heard a sweater sound coming from the a$$ end of a Crossfire.
