 I might... might be persuaded to part with my recently removed straight
thru exhaust (cat back, very home made but solid.) which fits B&L
models. Now that I have a job, I am becoming sedate. (back to new AR
stock system)

Very sweet noise, scares cats, best at 6499 rpm. One Lap Sponsors had
the....em, pleasure of hearing it, for reference. ( Chris Robyn,
remember me setting of  the car alarms next to Fantasy Junction? :oDDDD
)

Sounds great.... tempted yet....
