RE: cheap engine performance
Eloquently put.................
If I did not use a muffled engine at the two places I run, I would not have the privalege to do so anymore. One of the areas is a pretty remote lake next to a major highway so there is already a lot of noise. But the frequency of the noise our engines make is distinct.
All it takes is one person to complain and you could be shut down in a heart beat.
