Re: Tips

["Michael Friesen" <mfriesen@sympatico.ca>]

Actually, the reason I asked about tips was because my cheap Midas exhaust
sounds awful.  It's a real tinny whine, with a loud throaty sound
underneath.  I'm looking to quiet it down a bit (probably a new muffler) but
I'd especially like to get rid of the whine.  right now I'm looking at the
JRE tips from TTTuning with like a 3" outlet.  Not much difference over the
2.25 tip there now.
