Other listers have also reported nothing coming out. If/when you do this be careful removing the bolts. The threads protrude into the muffler and get coated with soot. As you are removing them they will begin to feel tighter. Run them in and out a quarter turn a few times between each quarter turn out to clean the threads. Otherwise you risk twisting the heads off of the bolts. Walt A14 I can attest to this. I have one headless bolt sitting in the hole. (don't get dirty now). Fortunately I will be rid of tweety and the headless bolt soon when I replace the stocker with an S-Trapp EAR (thanks Karl). Tweety didn't bother me for a while but after 4 months with the bird, I could take it no more. dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
