sounds half way decent....good deep tone at lower rpm's and not too loud to cause unwanted attention when ya get on it....

Sounds very creative.

Anybody else running off the shelf glass packs?

As long as the can is solid, I don't see why this wouldn't work.

Just make sure to use stainless wire in your welds. Regular steel wire will work OK, but it'll tend to rust over time. A TIG weld would be best, but a MIG would work fine too, in the hands of a good welder (which would not be me!).

I prefer Magnaflow's sound on just about any engine.
