Roger, we had strands of ss scrub pads hanging out the holes too. We have kind of come to the conclusion the current level is "close enough". Dan drove it around the industrial park tonight while I stayed behind to listen how it sounded, and it was louder than a Vette with side pipes, but more quiet than it was with open headers. He also realizes that turndowns on the end of the headers would help a lot as they aim right at you now, but cosmetics are important, you know. And he likes the way they look right now.

Andy, sorry to hear about the lousy weather. Well, it IS only April so Spring is still a few weeks or so away, up north. Pretty soon you should have some nice weather. Down here we are already starting to sweat, looks like it will be another scorcher this Summer.


Bob, I've done the same thing, and the smiles on the faces of the kid and his parents is priceless. On the other hand, some people have zero respect for other peoples stuff, and sometimes you just have to say something. When Dan's rpu was sitting in front of the stage at Billetproof some guy (who looked like he had one too many) walked up and set his beer bottle on Dan's rear tire. I debated with myself for a few minutes because I didn't want to spoil Dan's experience there, but finally I couldn't take it anymore. I walked over, took the bottle from the tire, handed it too him, and said "Here, thank you." He got the point, but WHO does that stuff?????? If that bottle had fallen into the bed we would have been the ones repairing the damage.

I guess some people just have had no upbringing.
