This is a GOOD POST!!! I am a daily driver of a '49 1/2 ton, '56 235, Fentons, 2-30" glasspacks that aren't that noticable until I 'get on it' a little. I'm averaging 5-6 thousand a year with several long trips mixed in and I don't think I could handle the sound of straights.

What if one used an X-PIPE? Supposed to give MORE power with less noise. I bought one off ebay over the winter and will be installing this year with either Smitty's or my original glasspacks. Right now that event is low on the Priority List so don't hold your collective breath. Hopefully someone can jump in that has already done this....

Rocinante, like Don Quixote, he is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.
