Default A quiet 930???

I removed my Fabspeed "zork" tube, today at lunch. I'm gonna have my O2 bung welded to it for an AFR gauge and I also plan to have one of the Burns Stainless "ultra-light" racing mufflers welded to it (like 125shifter did). At any rate I've got my old (and rather lame) B&B single back on, and I'm actually shocked at how quiet the thing is!!! Since the new engine, I've really never had the chance to hear how smooth it actually sounds...like BUTTA! It's a far cry from the backfiring, popping, burbbling mess that the zork can be. I'm hoping that a small muffler will go a long way.

I hope I can let ya'll know how it sounds soon. I've got a mess of wiring parts all over my work bench.

Unfortunately I also stripped all the sheetrock off my kitchen walls on Friday (which was not part of my original remodel plan). By Sunday I had finished rewired my kitchen. Why can't I get started wiring the 930? My kitchen isn't even shiny, I don't know why it distracts me.

Sand_man... let me know if you are going to be parting with your zork tube.

Actually, I think the zork will be *USED* for parts...

Sand_man,
I am going to try a Schoenfeld racing muffler insert in my Zork and if that doesn't work out will be trying one of these welded to the end of the Tube:http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...f056794f3d3f5f
