Will do.

Well, I gave up on the homemade muffler. It was kinda heavy, and also vibrated lose when I tested it, and it flew right off after a few minutes at high power.

So, I got me a J'tec muffler, and will try this. I cut my stock header down to 1/2" and slide it into the muffler hole. It was a pretty tight fit, so I am hoping it will not leak. If it does, I can take it apart and fill it with some high temp silicon. I then bolted the muffler directly to the side of the engine with the stock screws for the old muffler. It is aluminum, so hopefully it will take the vibration a little better than copper.

Anyone try one of these mufflers? Do they work ok? Did I hook it up right? Or is there some other method of hooking up J'tec mufflers that I need to know about?
