Question

How long of a breakin time should I expect? The noise aint so bad when I drop the top
Now that it can get rid of some air I need to force a little more in there!

Please send it to me. JBizkitzharding@netscape.net Have you done any other mods to your exhaust system or is it just the muffler?

I'd like a clip too. I'm getting mine on in a week with a 2.75 or 3" I-pipe. I'd like to get an idea of the sound... godfreym207@yahoo.com

I just got my custom welded tailpipes installed and the thing sounds nice! Should I do a high flow cat next or CAI? Which would give me the most improvement?

I got tired of the whispery rasp my stock muffler had and put on a magnaflow muffler just so i could hear it... no performance in mind. Its sounded SOOOOO ricy i took it off last week. It was terrible, it popped and moaned just like a Honda just slightly lower pitched. While the exhaust was off i had them turn it on... it sounded exactly the same but louder. I'm kinda pissed. I think headers or somethign would help but they cost $$$ if could even find em for my sixer. Help.
