| It's home made, so cut it and make it fit whatever header you want it to fit. Kind of cool though. |

That wouldn't matter. I'd still be the popular person because I'm the only person in my neighborhood that has a faster-than-average bug. |

Forget the dogs, I found my stinger works great for tuning in the ignorant neighbours.  Won't stop cutting the grass during my family supper on the patio when asked politely, well....say hello to the Sunday morning 8am open exhaust tuneup.
