I think you'll get your wishes. I don't think anyone wants or cares to
try....

On-topic, are your mufflers the newer Flomaster three-chambered ones?

I'll be replacing the exhaust if I do the blower install next year.
Just curious...

Nah, they're the 2 chambered version. Sound hot though!

Also... I bought a new welder (WF2000 by Campbell Hausfeld--still lower
quality compared to Lincoln, Miller, etc--but I'm just a hobbyist). It's a
wire-feed welder & I must say... MUCH better and easier to use than stick
welding. I got a couple exhaust hangers welded in now... so exhaust is
reaaaaal stable. *phew* on that. Now if I could just get this stinkin
ignition problem fixed!
