Oh, but of course.

Unfortunately I'm on call. As long as work leaves me alone, I plan to post a vid of before and after.

Got my muffler and cat welded on. Little louder than I wanted, think I'm gonna get a tailpipe. Hope to get my new to me header put on this weekend.

Hard to say. Outside isn't too loud, but the drone inside sucks.

I'm not gonna beat around the proverbial bush, the header and flowmaster combo sounds way better IMHO.

As for the drone inside, pull the carpet and lay some fatmat down. That may help alot.

mine has sound deadening in it and it still sucks. I pulled the carpet and put a few layers. I think putting pipe to the back would be the best bet, but more pipe to get hung on.

I'm kinda in-between now. The more I drive it my tolerance for the drone gets better. Thinking about getting a tailpipe, but I really like how the turn down setup tucks close to the body. I think my gearing is causing it to be worse as well. At 50-60 mph I'm running around 1900 rpm which is right in the drone zone. Once you hit 2500 rpm it quiets down a lot. Gonna give it a few weeks and see if it grows on me. Also thinking of swapping my tan carpet for black, so fatmat is definitely an option.

Taking a break form the Heep for a while to focus on paddle sports. I love being on the water and I can definitely use some exercise. I'll pick back up in the early fall when the weather cools down a little. Pretty much set on installing a 2.5" tailpipe from performance curve soon as work starts back on the rig.

Swapped my fuel pump again last night. Old one worked good for about two weeks before I started to have the hard start issue from a bad check valve. Two thumbs up to Amazon and Bosch. I messaged amazon to see if my old pump could be warrantied, less than 8 hours later I got a shipping confirmation on a replacement unit. Fingers crossed this one last. On the up side I can change it in less than an hour now!

I've been through quite a few pumps myself. This one has lasted pretty well so far.

Managed to get a little work done on the Heep. Installed XJwonders upgrade battery cables, an upgrade headlight harness, and removed the poor boy light bar.
