awsome setup, i saw how to build homemade glasspacks on powerblock on spike tv it involves drilling a 3inch pipe with alot of holes wrapping it in fiberglass then putting a 5inch pipe over that and covering it all up, were your mufflers built the same or differently?? great work i was expecting a loud mess but they have a great tone.

Very nice work. Post up some pics of the muffler build when you get a chance. I bet it sounds good when you get on it.

I got a pint can of fireplace paint from Fleet farm. It's got some toxic fumes, but really works well. I'll see how long it lasts. It's doing really well on the cats, where I expected it to lift. But I ran it enough to cure, then let it sit overnite.

My buddy gave me hell for not taping off when I painted. That tells you the caliber of stuff he builds

I have video of the build but I'd have to post it to youtube in several parts. My PC won't load my video editing sofware so I can't put the vids together and edit them into one. Spent all my money on materials and tools and now I can't afford a new PC.

OK I loaded the rest of the videos on Youtube, but they're unedited. And they're not listed in order, but you can see that.

Just put FABgarage in the search bar and they should all pop up I would think (NOT)
