Think I need a muffler????

Right now it has no muffler because I decided not to use the spintech I got from TraviZ. Im thinking about going with the cherry bomb extreme muffler. I always like the two on the left look.

heres a little vid of how it sounds now

Re: Think I need a muffler????

That exhaust note reminds me of the "Mad Max" the road warrior. Do you guys remember that or are you guys to young to know. If you haven't seen those movies you're not a true gearhead. If you haven't seen it better watch it now to become a true gearhead. Keep in mind that when you watch it and it comes to the scene where he turns on the supercharger....it does not work that way....that thing is always spinning of course as long as the belt is hooked up...hahahaha If the belt is not hooked up it would not run anyway. Oh the hollywood effect at it's best.
