Status: online 		OK guys,

In my stupidity I mounted my DA-100 mufflers backwards(Exit pipes toward front) when making the cowl cutouts.

Mutha@%^$#, SH%#!!! Turnining the mufflers around would require even more of the cowl be butchered. Sonofafu$%#HBiotch!!!!

OK, I have calmed down now and I am wondering if just leaving it this way is OK? Or will it have a detrimental effect on the engine running it this way?

If anyone can stop laughing long enough to advide me on this I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

MR G

MY *fix* to the situation..... announce to EVERYONE, in a LOUD, PROUD, voice that;

"This is the newest method to mount mufflers to enhance the smoke trail, cool the exhaust, create more scale-sound, and make it look more realistic." (or words to that effect)

NEVER reveal that it was a "mistake"..... not needed!!!!!!!!!!

Status: offline 		The engine doesn't even care if it has a muffler. Most of our engines run better without a muffler than they do with "factory" mufflers. Leave 'em where they are and enjoy.
