Steve G. Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 My buddy Lester in Pentictin B.C. modified his in a big way. He cut the welded end off, pulling out the baffle to find industrial pressed steel wool as the muffling. Of course it was matted thick with carbon. He took some time to hook it all out, then welded the end back on. With the Ferracci air box kit, he has the ability to loft the front end in second gear, really waking it up, and no more flat spot at 3500-4500 rpm. Cosmetically, it is untouched looking. He says the noise is quite pleasant but not obtrusive. Cost: 130cdn for the Ferraccci kit. Ciao, Steve G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest albarnhart Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Thanks Guys, Both Ideas sound good. Think I will try drilling first and see if thats enough. Would'nt the steal wool clog sooner or later. K&N kit will be installed when trans recall is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuzzTim Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Make SURE the screws holding the end caps are on tight and use Loctite..!! After I drilled mine, I lost two screws due to vibration ! Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tim Tim, I think I have a few screws for the muffler cover in my basement. You are welcome to them if you need them.

Let me know what works for you this weekend, and Mother's Day festivities permitting, maybe I can scoot by to grab them .. Failing that, maybe a ride next weekend?
