i've been doing alot of research for both of these and all is good, but i'm not sure what to go with, they are almost the same. i found a thrush glasspack with 1.75" inlet/outlet, 12"x3.5" body, 17" overall length.
the FO-14 tractor muffler has a 2" inlet, not sure about outlet, aluminized.
The length is good on both, but i'm wondering what will hold up better and perform better. I am going to be snorkeling the exhaust, and dual 1.5" intake snorkels. and if anyone has any pics and tips on those duals let me know. I am looking to rejet too. I am building a mud machine on the cheaper, DIY way. no need to pay $380 for HMF when its almost the same thing. I am going to make a lift for it too, some pics of that would be nice too. I can fab up all thise, its just easier to see whats already been done before i do. It is an ES and i am converting it to S, i have all the transmission internals on the way and i bought them from ebay for $35!! can't beat that. and i'm gonna make a cover where the electric shift motor was. And whats a cheap way for a gear reduction, and whats the best clutch kit? any tips would be greatly appreciated.
