Seems like alot of work for zero performance or sound difference to just ripping the stock can off.

DanMoto make exactly the same looking muffler for about 1/10th the price of a Leo Vince GP exhaust.......if its just about the look - its a good alternative.

Do they both come out of the same sweat shop. :lol:

In all seriousness, I admire the guy's TIG welding skills.

Just because one piece of pepperoni wasn't securely placed on the grand duke pizza, it shouldn't eventuate to catastrophic handling & extended delivery times. :lol:

Having recently learned to weld (mig) and at best am now extremely average on a good day. I can say i would be a liar if i didn't appreciate that guys skill at welding. btw as to the lathe, if you've got it, use it.

I hope hes using spf 5000000 and reapplying it generously during the day. Im surprised he wasnt using a stubbie as a welding lens.
I only drink to make my friends more interesting.
