Greg,
Yep, back in the good old days in the early 70's I could turn heads for
blocks on campus when I blipped the gas going over speed bumps. The
Stebro muffler was the best I ever had on my 68 Spitfire, but not the
noisiest. That award went to a cheap JC Whitney "silencer" shaped like a
large beer can that I used in place of the muffler. That was too loud
even for me!
Still have the Stebro, hope it has survived storage all these years for
when I get my Spitfire back on the road.
