Oh for Petey's sake Bust, this is the correct picture. Amazing how pristine and beautiful The Dirty Old Whore was seven years ago, before Sir Crash-A-Lot started throwing her down the highway!Shit man!Yer Right!! I posted the wrong picture..

The way you crack yourself up is both funny and sad at the same time. More sad than funny!Darryl'zilla and his other brother, Darryl'zilla...

Pretty much...It's way easier than it sounds. However, get the good cutting wheels, not the paper ones. The wheels will be too big to fit into the pipe, so you need a brick, or some concrete that you don't mind scarring up. You need to grind the wheel down on the brick until it fits into the pipe. You'll go through a couple of them, but it seens to work best if you use solid pressure and get the first disk all the way through...Then just cut around the circumfrence.So in summing up the mod...you just cut through the baffle plate(s) with the hole saw, then stick the cutting wheel into the pipe and cut off an inch and a half or so of pipe, from the ID surface, and that's it? Sounds like it could be a PITA to cut through the pipe though...hopefully not.

Exactly as HRZ said. Except I went through 3.5 cutting discs. Easy 20 minute mod and sounds great. Thanks again TrooperPretty much...It's way easier than it sounds.

Just a footnote here. When I originally did the trooper mod, I went in about 1 1/4" with the dremel, which placed the cut just behind the baffle plate that was cut with the hole saw. I got bored one day, and decided to take out about another 1 1/4" since Garys tailcones really mellowed out the sound. It made quite a difference in the sound with the tailcones on. Still not anywhere near obnoxious, just a little deeper. I leave for work at 6 am, and am not afraid of disturbing the neighbors. I edited my video of the different exhaust sounds, with the extra 1 1/4" and tailcones at the end. Of course, it sounds much better in person :lol: You be the judge.

Very helpful, thanks. <_<Trooper Dysfunctional Modification :huh:
Haha...Those boys are touchy! Guess today's not the day for jokes huh Mike?Referencing the Off Topic GoofPosters :huh:
No popping just doing stage 1 for me, but I have not tested it in the heat of summer yet. Maybe by summer my knee will heal and I will be back on the road.However, I'm feeling a little nervous about the decel popping, as there seems to be a difference of opinion about this. Time will tell.

I hear you loud and clear Bust, Niehart and Papa always got a kick out of retarding the spark on our Model A's back in the thirties to impress the gals with the popping!Plus.. If the "popping" bugs ya? yer too fuking young...Buy a damned Honda.
Some of us remember "lakepipes" and sparkplugs in the tailpipes made cars fast. I tells ya, some of you young pups are starting to bug me..
