Sorry, been busy... I added pics to the first post (didn't know I could do that! LOL)

A few more days have gone by and still loving the results!
Fuel range should be in the 400's (projection from historical experience, based on current fuel gauge reading).

Also, the exhaust tone has changed from (explanation purposes only) Mustang to Ferrari. Hard to describe this.
I'm going to try an experiment. I want more sound... the only way to do this is to buy more discs. It opens up the exhaust more.
The experiment is to buy small, thin, washers to put on all six disc retaining bolts between each disc. This should simulate the addition of discs. If not, I'll buy the discs. $2 vs. $30...

Oh, also, just for reference... the Vortex is approx. equal to the sound of the 50 series Flowmaster.

So, in reality, what this did was...

Sound level:
Straight exhaust with no muffler=10
Vortex added=7
Vortex is now the baseline for the loudest the exhaust will go.
Added Supertrapp w/12 discs=3
Remove discs=7.5 (.5 due to megaphone-ish shape)
Add discs= 3 - 7.5, depending on how many discs added...

Hope this makes sense.
