Odd looking setup with no muffler at all. Why did he put it on the right side? Mine is still stock and I don't like the profile of it in the rear. It hangs down to far in my opinion as a stock muffler. I want more clearance with exit angles. I haven't damaged it yet but I think it is just a matter of time.

Default New Video uploaded

Is there a way I can edit my original post, and include this video link in there?

Sorry, but I don't know how to post videos on here, so all I can provide is a link.

Hope you enjoy it.

wow, that video was pointless... sorry but its not better than nothing, you can't hear the exhaust at all, all i hear is the radio and background noise. The only time i even begin to hear the exhaust is when you're punching it in third. and it sounds kinda Ricer like. Post up a better video with the radio off so we can actually hear the exhaust.

I just wanted to get a vid up and running, with what I had on me = cellphone. I'll be working on a better clip soon, with an actual camcorder. Atleast you got to head what 3rd sounds like.

So your saying if I put the muffler back on, I will get better results? and what do you mean by "there goes my valves"? Have I damaged them?

Soon as some nice, cold air comes shooting back up there, you bet "there goes your valves."
