Devin,
WOW! That looks really nice! I love the way you have the top pieces welded together. It looks very professional. Like my dad's steak, well done!
Pappa G,
Share some pics! Yep, it's a huge difference alright. Nice to be able to hear someone else talk to you in a normal voice. If you think that's impressive wait until y'all see what Ken and I do next to REALLY cut down noise. Pics coming this fall. I promise!
Devin,
Gotta watch those hairs! The muffler will (reference the pic) end above the west coast mirror (if yours is so equipped). It will protrude above the steering wheel by approximately 11 to 14 inches depending upon where you cut the bottom of the pipe. The actual can is 30 inches and the...
Bob,
The inline pump puts out less fuel than the in tank pump. The engine starves for fuel. So as a result, I could only get about 2100 rpm out of the engine due to the pump. It's great for short slow trips around town but not for highway use. I've already pulled it off.

This is a flow through muffler with side baffles. Actually it's three flow-through mufflers welded into one. You can actually see the different stages when looking down the inside of the can.
P.S.- I suspect Ken is a bit jealous of how quiet 'Storm...
LD,
I'll have the number this afternoon when I'm installing my inline fuel pump (pics on that too). I had to go to a NAPA warehouse to find it in stock. Other NAPA places were going to charge to ship it closer to me. So I got in my car and $aved some money. The pipe is 3&1/2 inches and the...
Everyone,
Well Ken and I modified 'Storm I forgot to take pics of where we cut off the straight pipe. No biggie, I have pics of the process after we painted the muffler. We cut the pipe about six inches from the highest point on the fender to give ourselves plenty to work with. We then fit...
