Been trying to decide if I should replace em with 180s or keep going with 190s!!! 180 because it's what it calls for, 190 because it's been so #*^@! stable at extreme speed...
sorry to butt in but where did you get the dual exhaust or is it a custom piece?

NASCAR is like dumping a box of Fruit Loops in the toilet and watching them all swirl around when flushed. Add some screaming redneck to announce the event and you could sell tickets.

LivinLife4Fun was the lucky raffle winner of the late Arlie "Itchy Butt" Martin's legendary "Stealth Bomber" Turbobeast 'rex.

It's a near-silent wheelie monster with a Hayabusa swingarm/monoshock rear suspension, (Uncle Bob ZRX?) Turbo, custom dual exhaust, brake upgrades, and lots of other mods I'm no doubt forgetting -- and a near-stock appearance to keep a low Hooligan profile... while freaking you out as it goes past you on one wheel, and with the front wheel up by your head... like you're standing still.

custom one off aluminum piece planned out by itchy butt & fabbed by Uncle Bob ZRX, it's a beaut!
hooked up to turbo dump pipe, not a conventional header...
4-1 pipes are my faves, but these duals have captured my heart!
