Gee.....uh, well golly, it seems I was riding sans helmet and wearing my hearing aids when I tested the muffler under load, and you know what I was hearing???????
The stupid cold belt whine, that promptly went away after I put my gloves and helmet on for a real ride
My son says it sounds a lot better, I can tell, but its not loud at all, just deeper sounding. I can get a little rap when I shift at times, is that an indicator of a leak? I was able to get both bolts attached, I used SS stove bolts that worked great. Of course the front mount does not ride all the way down to the bracket like the rear one because of that angle of the header....
Still, not hard at all to do
