Re: Ok I think I'm ready.

Re: Ok I think I'm ready.
I think it has a little more torque, but not really a concern of mine.

Yeah, I found mine breathed a bit better on the highway, but aside from that, what you notice the most was the difference in sound...lowridah313 wrote:I think it has a little more torque, but not really a concern of mine.
And that tone will get a bit deeper once the muffler has been "seasoned" a bit...

I'm not entirely sure that I remember what I was even talking about! My best guess is that I was referring to balancing beads, but I can't say for certain.
