The NAPA mod was one of the first mods I did. I drove the deuce with the stock pipe for a while, but started using it a lot as my farm truck. In all honesty, I miss the sound, but I enjoy taking it down back roads under 45 mph with my ear drums intact. All in all, I am glad I did the mod. Begk, thanks for the tip on the welded bolts, thats going on this weekend, I made a home made clamp to hold it in place as I thought the muffler would be too thin to weld up. Looks like crap, it's comng off, welded bolts going on. I love this fourm !!!!
It took me about 20 minutes to do the mod also, I painted mine flat black, the paint was still a little tacky when I bolted it back up. I did use band clamps though, they are great!
