after i get back from holiday traveling i'll be gutting the second muffler. once it's back from the welder's, it'll be time for paint, choosing tips, install, and then finally... testing! some of that schedule may be weather dependant, but rest assured... there is absolutely forward progress on this.
when testing does come, i plan to recreate the tests done for
ExhaustFest 2012. i already have the dB meter from good 'ol RadioShack. obviously location and ambient air temp will be different (damn you, Cali, and your perfect weather!), but the rest i hope will be up to par.
