Default "The Mongoose"

Here is a short video I took over the weekend. All my mods can be seen below in my signature. It was such a great weekend here in mid MO that I got to get her out quite a bit and enjoy her.

Thanks. I wish it had a little more chop to it, but it does sound nice. Might try having the idle speed dropped a hair more. Also been thinking about switching to some FM 10 series single chambers.

Sounds great... I added 2 mufflers with the BULLETS... they're LOUD at WOT. I put up with it for about a week, but didn't wanna cut them out.

The bullet mufflers on there right now are the ones that came with the Texas Speed duals, which are the Texas Speed brand bullets, not the Dynomax bullets that came on their duals prior. I've heard the Dynomax bullets are even louder than these, but haven't heard them in person. Kind of torn between the Dynomax bullets and the FM 10's. I just love loud; the louder the better.

If loud is your objective, Dynomax Bullets are the ticket, fo sho... The FM's I used(don't remember which series) made quite the difference in quiet, so don't go there.

The Bullet has almost nothing but a hole through it, very little baffling, just various holes... of course, they may have changed since I got mine.

I know the Dynomax bullets come in different lengths, with the shortest one being the loudest. Plus, it saves some weight and you don't have to worry about fitment issues.
