That's why I didn't fit a quiet muffler.
It has to actually have a muffler to pass inspection; doesn't implicitly say how effective it has to be. So, that's more or less a straight pipe.

Sounds a nice place you live in, not at all like the vision thrust at us by the BBC!!PhilA wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 10:22 am People still fabricate stuff here by themselves, or have a local shop do it. This is an area of makers- predominantly welders for the shipyards so the places that stock the metal have learned not to carry recycled Chinesium because they'll get it thrown in their face.
It also goes very much by word of mouth here too. I'm well known around here in general (first, I speak funny, second I try to stop in and be personable and that goes a long way around these parts, third I am on the TV around here quite a lot in commercials for work). So, people I talk to have begun to recommend the people they trust and who trust them. That helps a lot. When I first moved here finding anything was difficult because I didn't really know anybody.
It's all good. Either way I'm happy to have checked that one off the list.

What are you advertising on TV please tell us it is something seedy like bail bonds to balance out the above

I'm terms of area, we are rural but it's a little microcosm that grew up separated from the rest of the country to a greater or lesser degree.

It's not a totally bad place, no.

There used to be things I knew as "Cut-Offs" that were for Drag Racers to bypass the silencers for racing by pulling a lever inside the car.
Granted that's where we went last night- Hammond, which is a nice little place. But, it shares a fair bit of the attitude we have down here. It's generally a polite area.mercrocker wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 2:07 pm See, even a small snapshot like that grinds my imagination into overdrive straight away...Highway 51. The legendary N-S highway that led from N'Orlins up toward Michigan - immortalised by bluesman Curtis Jones. I'm going off to get my blues albums......
Funny thing, that's as loud as that engine gets, so I'll just keep it that way unless I get fed up of it.MLOR wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 3:20 pmThere used to be things I knew as "Cut-Offs" that were for Drag Racers to bypass the silencers for racing by pulling a lever inside the car.
Assuming such things still exist and that you would want to, you could have a "Silent" system and a "Noisy" system.
Cruise up to the lights in Silent Running mode, pull lever, get the Full Sound Effects away from the lights
Laughably advertised as being for "Non-Restricted Areas"! Or you could of course just chuck on some lakes pipes and plug them until you were out of Smokeys earshot....MLOR wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 3:20 pmThere used to be things I knew as "Cut-Offs" that were for Drag Racers to bypass the silencers for racing by pulling a lever inside the car.
