Sheesh more muffler stuff

[timjmcconnell at gmail.com (Timbo)]

Sounds like fun! - My exhaust was bottoming out on the axle beam
before I replaced the rear shocks and bumpstops. It wasn't broken -
but it was kind of oval-shaped.

I installed a cheepo $24 muffler - with a bunch of adaptors - it looks
like crap but it sounds ok.
