• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

here i go again...
did a 2nd OEM Muffler Mod for my '09 RS...
Rev. 'A' was a gutted n short'n version, leaving the CAT in tacked...
Rev. 'B; is also gutted n short'n, but the CAT is gone south, and added a CHERRY BOMB Glass Pack to it... OAL is the same between both Rev's... pictures are worth a 1000 words, so here:

cut at both welds; fwd & aft... removed all inner hardware... gutted the CAT... welded the CHERRY BOMB to the CAT end... cut the end of the CHERRY BOMB just aft the weld on both ends... measured n cut body using the 'mounting strap' as a guide n marked with a pencil around the entire diameter to cut a straight line... cut the body to suit my required length, cut the inner core just shy of the outter body, cleaned up all the 'matting'... reinserted the inner core, and welded the body to fwd section... welded the 'aft' section on, cleaned, buffed n painted... mounted Rev. 'B' and VAROOOOOOM...... :bowdown: :clap: :yes: :thumbup:
 
Very cool! Think the finish on the oem part of the muffler will hold up good now that it will see considerably less heat? Wonder if the pipe gets hot at all.
Nice work for sure!
