Hi Clint,
Sounds like another SWAG convert here. We've all been there. I remember my
first fire as we call it in the turbine business. Same thing no exhaust
system, it was so loud my neighbors a half mile away knew I had started her
for the first time. It was real scary driving her to the muffler shop open
header and looking for cops. I put the flow master on her and it calmed it
down just a little, but it is still loud. I am looking forward to see you
join us on our next SWAG trip.
Rick
