If money is an issue I would recommend the cat replacement pipe from rotary performance. About $100, gives a nice rumble at idle but sounds a little flat. I understand that buying a good muffler will remedy this.

Yeah Chemical's got a good question, I'd like to know too.

And for the RB system, do you guys have the regular "Exhaust System" or the "Street Port Exhaust System"?

Would it matter if I slapped the SP exhaust on a stock engine? is it louder?

With taxes, duty, and the higher exchange at the time it was $1100 or so. The US dollar has gone down 20% since then.

[QUOTE]I kinda like the chainsaw on crack sound. There is no other engine that sounds like it.

Sure there is....
Weedwackers, unmuffled law mowers, chainsaws (as you mentioned), basically anything by Briggs and Stratton

I'm thinking about buying a "cherry Bomb Turbo Muffler" at the local auto parts store, for pretty cheap. is the stock muffler pretty restrictive, and will this muffler sound real bad? Apparently it is supposed to be a performance muffler, could i notice any gains, i have straight pipes to stock muffler.

cheers

Down 20%?!? The dollar today is up to 74 cents US, which is the highest it's been in years! When the *hell* did it reach 87.5 cents US?

(for those who care: if today's 20 percent lower than before, it's 80% of what it used to be, so 74 / .8 = 87.5)

Must've been way before I was keeping track!

No man I think he means the CDN dollar has gone up by 20% (I think..?..)

So the CDN dollar is 20% more than what it used to be compared to the US dollar

I mean the US dollar has gone down 20% in relation to the Canadian dollar, meaning US goods bought by Canadians cost fewer loonies than they did last December - basically what Chemical said
