I started to watch the vid and I think it's a message... Thank you for sharing.

Add 7+ mph to the top speed, not bad at all

Weldangrind · 06-09-2016, 11:57 AM

Newrider, I think this has been covered, but I'm not sure: is there a cat in the header, or is it just a bulge, like a Power Bomb?

w0ss · 06-09-2016, 12:07 PM

no cat. I am not sure how much effect if any it has.

Does it say USFS approved?

Same thing I thought when I saw the bulge in the header pipe. This setup should fit the TT also, I would guess. As long as it's not too loud, this could be a winner.

I didn't look to closely but I highly doubt it, it is just a screen in the end of the pipe that was pictured already.

I bought it for my TT that isn't here yet

. Once I break it in I'll do an install video and see how it goes

Sounds really good!

No but the stock exhaust doesn't have that either.

There isn't a cat. I dropped a nut in the pipe and it came all the way through. So it's a clear pipe.

Be very very very careful with the exhaust manifold bolts. I decided to wrap the exhaust and I sheared one of mine off.

Worked on removing it today.

w0ss · 06-10-2016, 07:49 PM

I am going to wrap mine as well. I will be careful on mine.

hertz9753 · 06-10-2016, 08:23 PM

I'm going to use the stock heat shield and maybe that dog toy.

hertz9753 · 07-11-2016, 09:40 PM

I'm working on the exhaust right now. I used my dad's old Black and Decker drill and a 1/2" Cobalt bit. So much slow speed power that it tried to throw me when the bit got stuck. 1/2" holes on each side was just enough to get the flange on. I used stainless flat and lock washers to hook up the header pipe.
