Notice my special gas can in the background? Its for race gas.
She's comin along really great, I like it a lot. I'm just on the down curve of getting my interior all finished myself, hope it turns out half as good as yours looks.

They're pretty cheap usually, I picked up mine brand new for $34.99.

So does that actually take the place of the muffler? It is substantially smaller

I've seen people do it both ways, I've seen people leave their muffler and put on a glasspack with it, and other remove the muffler completely. I removed my muffler completely and put on the glasspack and it's loud, not obnoxiously loud, but a good loud lol.

You kid, but wait til I'm finished. I do work a bit slow, and I do several projects at once, but when things come together, you'll see.

Yes, at least mine will. Not sure why anyone would put both on, it would be pretty quiet.

Its better than what I have now, which is nothing. Late night wheeling will do that. Rocks are bad.

Since we stopped we both got bored with working, so we took my XJ wheeling.

Managed to get my rear wheel off the ground. My buddy was pretty excited, so we had to get some pics. I was a bit excited too.
