    Come by the new crib on Saturday, I'll be there all day. You can take a look at what I have to work with.

    Wait a tic, you have a bender? All I really need to do is cut off the posts and then re-weld them on at the correct angle. But if you have a bender, I could just grind a notch on them, bend all four to the right angle and then touch up the weld a little. That would be way easier.

    It wouldn't surprise me...I've been known to interject a bit of reality into otherwise silly statements...

    BTW, Big CONGRATS on the new abode.

    Sorry to jack you're perfectly good thread Ascinder...to get back on topic, when I installed my Borla muffler, I found it to be too "raspy & rough around the edges" sounding. I found a perforated cone insert (I think from Summit Racing) that I was able to persuade into the stock 3" tip & secure with a bolt.
    It took just enough of the "rough edges" off the exhaust note.

    Here's a link to the insert I was talking about earlier, not cheap, but well made (stainless) & they do mellow it out by a Db or three.

    Vortex cone inserts from Dynatech easily install near the exit of the header collector or muffler outlet to reflect and dissipate sound energy, reducing the decibel level. Because the open area of the cones is greater than the area of the collector or exhaust pipe, there's no significant backpressure, so you reduce noise with little or no power loss. The cones are made from T-304 stainless steel and weigh less than 1/2 lb. each.
