RE: exhaust options?

[Brooke Fairbanks <Brooke@minn.net>]

I've used several Supertraps in the past...   ...never again!  I've had a 
stainless unit, but the guts are still mild steel.  The problem I 
encountered was that the bolts that hold the disks on would freeze up, even 
with anti-seize.  When I needed to have the emissions sniffed, most of the 
bolts would break or the threaded hole would release.  This would cause the 
bolt to just spin freely and not turn out for removal.  I would have to 
grind off the heads of the allen bolt to remove the disks.  The idea of a 
tunable exhaust is great, it just didn't work for my street application. 
 Also, it produced a "police attention getting" rasp reminiscent of a super 
bike...
