Change in philosophy - think I'm pleased

[Don_Lightfoot]

I have been a Day II lover for a lot of years, but I guess I have now turned to the Dark Side. After ten years I recently removed the Hooker Headers, the Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers and 3” stainless pipe front to back. In its place is a Concours Chambered system from Gardner.

What a sweet setup. Installation and fit was very good. Most of the time was spent on alignment front to back and twisting the mufflers to where I wanted them to be. The resonators tuck up in the quarter real nice. My only disappointment is I would like to have the chrome tips a little farther out the back. Not stuck way out as I don’t like that look, but an extra half inch or so would be nice. They are currently about one inch past the back lower round lip of the bumper. Maybe that’s where they are supposed to be, I don’t really know. The parameters for front to back adjustments just won’t allow any more movement to the rear. What I found interesting, and I don’t know why, is the tailpipes are not symmetrical to each other. Must be a reason I guess.

At idle the sound seems a bit louder than before. Cruising at speed I think it is actually a little quieter. Overall it’s gone from a “tinny” sound (headers?) to a nice good rumble [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

The one picture on the hoist is all I had and is unfortunately not the best quality.

Thanks to Rick for some prior installation hints.

With any luck the harrassment from Bill Rose will now end [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
