Just put on my new Thrush Welded muffler. 75 bucks for the muffler and the clamps and it sounds amazing. Took 30 min to install! I highly suggest this.
No drone, not annoyingly loud and the only hard part was getting the damn stock muffler off.

Did you do the same muffler as the one that was posted a few days ago?

Curious why the price difference...

I bought the same muffler this week, and with everything did it all for under 50.

Btw so glad I did it

Mirror flip was ok, nothing that noticeable. I plan on taking the door bolts off this week though!

I think the mirror flip tends to be more useful for taller people. What kind of board do you ride?

most likely because i live in a different country. it wasn't 75 for the muffler itself, i bought clamps and extra piping for the dump too. so with everything said and done it added up to 75.

Painting the inside of the top with black bedliner was another great mod for around $20- $30.

Maglite mount to side of driver side seat mod was another great one for around $5 or so.

This is the first I have heard of the "upside down rearview mirror mod" going to have to do that today!
Where can you find the Maglite mount??? I have looked everywhere, I mean everywhere!
