Thanks! I can't wait to see yours. I'll try to help with any questions that may come up.

After a couple of years, my Temp X has gotten loud. I mean it sounds nice at low throttle and low rpm, but twist the throttle, and it makes a cracking sound on acceleration

Have you opened your slipon? I am sure I need to repack mine.

Any photos? I have rivets to close it up again. Should be pretty straight forward. Any recommendations on packing material? I have found some fiberglass packing material that looks OK, also ceramic glasspack media that looks very dense.

I bought one of those JFG full exhausts which didn't work out at all, probably made for a Hawk. Anyway I used the muffler from that AND bought a steel baffle insert. It went the other way. I swear it got louder. I put the stock muffler back on. At some point I will do a more proper job of the adapter I made for the muffler to fit by actually welding it and put the JFG muffler back on. I just kind of like the looks I guess.
