Thanks.And I guess I'm as ready as i'll ever be to recieve my verbal beatdown about how removing the componants inside the exhaust does nothing but trash what-once-was a good performing exhaust and ultimately creates a forest-non-friendly noise maker worthy of "assless chapped HD status,sorry for taking all the enjoyment away from Dooden and his monthly friend, the green ape! (running for cover from gorilla terds!) But seriously,I wouldn't have done anything to the stock exhaust except that I read a post before suggesting that you can take a hefty sized screwdriver and a hammer, and punch a more free-flowing port in the muffler part. DO NOT DO THIS!! Sure it opened up the exhaust,a little-bit! not enough to warrant even looking for something to use as a punch.Then the rattle started to accompany the tweety,and that's when I just snapped,and that's...when..I..went..surgicly..postal. I sure hope this will deter' future attempts at this. But on the up- side,my Bigg Gunn EvoX should arrive tomorrow(w/spark arrester),so I really would appreciate any response(other than the fecal toss for distance)WHOA! THAT'S 2 of'em!!DAMN,I'M ON A ROLL!!!BRING ON THE CONDOM-DUDE!!
