    muffler or straight pipe?

    I have run a straight pipe for about 4 years now. It does sound pretty good, but the drone in the cab is annoying if you go above 65. I just bought the corsa system to replace the straight pipe. I drive 150 miles round trip at about 75 mph every day to work...It just got to be too annoying...

    2001-05 Corsa Cat Back

    Drive from GA to CA

    Well, I made it to Salt Lake City. One more day of driving should get it. I got really crappy mileage through Wyoming...8.9:nonod: Lots of grades and lots of wind through there. I don't suspect it will be much better the rest of the way. Couple of things I forgot above. My tire...

    Drive from GA to CA

    So far, I have made it to Boonville, MO from Atlanta on my way to Sacramento. I was playing with the Juice between fuelings to see what the best mileage I can get is. First, I had it set on level 2 with the low boost fueling set at 5. My mileage was 12.9. Next tank, I set it to level 2...

    Ozzie was right...Need EQ Hitch/Anti Sway

    Here a couple of shots. You can see from the picture, my frame on the trailer does not stick out very much, and this hitch works great for the short nose. The underneath picture is of what I did on the bumper I built for the stock receiver....will be watching this closely until I can get a new...

    Ozzie was right...Need EQ Hitch/Anti Sway

    Ozzie, Greatly appreciate the advice. I just came back from the RV Dealer with the 14K equalizer hitch. Man, what a great difference. Everything is 10X more stable and planted to the road. Pricey unit compared to some, but well worth it. I actually had to use the equalizer regardless...

    What do you have for an MP3 player?

    I got my 60gig Video Ipod on ebay for $300, but it came with 12,000 songs of the kind of music I listen to. If you watch ebay, you will come across one like that. If you find one loaded, try to buy it soon because ebay will pull the auction once they see it has music on it for copyright stuff...

    Ozzie was right...Need EQ Hitch/Anti Sway

    http://www.equalizerhitch.com/productinfo/ The local rv dealer has these. Anybody have any experience with Equalizer? Looks like a decent setup.

    Ozzie was right...Need EQ Hitch/Anti Sway

    Ozzie hit it right on the head. 24" VNose + Loaded = Sow:crazy: I tried to distribute the load as much as possible with the heaviest stuff over the axles. It pulls OK, but I ready to drop the coin on an EQ hitch. Couple of questions: The V nose does not have much trailer frame between...

    Honda 700XX

    ATV Scene did a review on the unit here: http://www.atvscene.com/machines/honda/700xx_081.html Pretty neat machine, but I ended up going with a Raptor 700 after much research.

    Home made stacks

    Mechanically, it will work just fine...but if you are using galvanized pipe, it will look like crap at the welds unless you send out the pieces to get galvanized again...unless you paint them black or something. 6" stainless pipe or tube would be the best material to do what you want to do...

    High capacity drop hitch

    Is that kinda like load levelers for pulling tag a long RV's? It will definately be a sow when loaded...not looking forward to the fuel bill for 2500 miles:queasy:

    High capacity drop hitch

    I have seen some of your hitches and they are way cool. I ended up finding one at a local RV shop. Thanks for the lead though.

    08 Raptor 700

    Well, after debating it for a few months, I finally snapped and picked up a new Raptor 700.:biggrin5: Since I picked it up last week, I probably have close to ten hours on it. This is a very impressive machine. Very comfortable for a big guy (6'0" 290#). The suspension is outstanding...

    High capacity drop hitch

    I think the same guy is selling the 6" drop too. The prices are right too. Guess I'm just surprised that an alum. hitch can have such a high capacity.

    High capacity drop hitch

    I just purchased a 24' enclosed v nose. It weighs 3740# and has 2 5200# torsion axles. I am towing it from Georgia to California in a couple weeks as I am moving for work. I plan on taking as much of my stuff as possible. I have many tools, gangboxes, quads, etc, so the GVW could be quite...
