Default Just Installed FatCat and

WOW..........what a great pipe...fit and finish are outstanding (they even build the snap ring into the pipe) AND it comes with flanges already installed. I got tha standard baffle and I'm going to tell you...I LIKE IT...man,it sounds mean and really race like, like nothing else out there. I noticed an immediate change in low end power and can't wait to get it dynoed and see what I end up with.

I'm on my 9th exhaust system in 2 years, and I'll agree with you about the quality of the FatCat system. I just put in on the other night, and I was impressed with the flanges and everything as you were. I just put in the quiet baffle last night, and the sound is perfect for me. Nice bark when you want it, but pretty mellow when it needs to be.

WD-40 sprayed into the muffler around the baffle, then using a peice of 2x10 pine to drop the muffler on it to jar the baffle loose. It works great until the last part of the baffle got hung up and I had use some brute force to get it out. The quiet baffle slid right in, used a 2x4 to pound it in the last bit.

When all else fails, get a bigger hammer
