Wow! You guys are Great! Thank You for taking the time to post your opinions! I did like how the Supertrapp sounds from the sound clips and now i'm leaning towards the trapp. Where can I purchase a Trapp from, I cant seem to locate them? How much am I looking at spending for a Trapp? Thanks again everyone, I appreciate your thoughts.

Re: Muffler Recommendations Reply #16 - 08/29/08 at 20:01:29 Cant remember where I got mine, but, I would suggest you go ahead & buy the "6 Pack" of disks to avoid paying the freight on it later. That first pound for freight is a killer.

Try Dennis Kirk. Looks like they expect a shipment soon.
Here's the link.

If you decide to install it, let me know how it goes. I like the sound of the Supertrapp as well.

Some have found it necessary to shorten the header to get the TRapp on far enough to line up the rear mount. IF you have to do that, be aware that if you use a grinder, sparks flying near the battery vent CAN ignite the hydrogen gas, drastically shortening the battery life. Okay, ending it immediately. You may wonder "How DOES this guy KNow this". Well, right after I installed the TRapp, I ordered & installed a Big Crank battery & had to clean corrosion causing crud for hours. Dont do what I did, its a bummer.

Ess: thanks for the link, I went ahead and submitted my email for an alert on the Trapp. Do you guys think the Trapp is worth the extra money over the Jardine?

Depends on your motivation for buying one over the other. If it's performance, some guy claims a 23% improvement in HP over the stock muffler.

Here's his story:

Not sure what the Jardine offers. If you have to rejet your carb for the Jardine (likely), then you'll add the cost and your time to the equation.

If it's acoustics alone then it comes down to the value you put on sound and your personal choice. If you're married, then maybe I should remind you that the term "personal choice" means the maximum noise level your wife can tolerate. Wink
