Looking good man.

Looks nice. Full marks for leaving fenders on.

What are you doing about mufflers? It will sound raucous like that but needs more length and needs baffles. But you probably have a plan for that. Yes?

thanks guys.. yes i actually got some copper tubing for plumbing with some reducers.. cut about 4 and a half inches and connected it to the reducer and drilled holes in them.. incredibly it worked rather well for some homemade baffles.. i will post pics tomorrow.. i know i def didnt want to mess with the whole backpressure .. so i def had to do something.. its loud enough that someone can here me coming for safty reasons, but not to loud to wake up anyone sleeping..
