Just what the title says.

Original fiberglass mufflers leaked. I had Larry build a set of straight pipes. Being that I have the FAE itself it should still be reasonable in sound. I haven't fired it up yet.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160902/afb05d217be1e63d0a4a63a80269d45c.jpg
While I was in there I did go ahead and change the prop shaft seal and bushings. I cleaned up the shaft itself in my lathe. Also changed the steering cable. Rerouted the fuel lines. I also installed a second bilge pump with an Attwood water level sensor. I have it wired automatic/manual. It will come on if the water level is too high or I can switch it on. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160902/bc4184acc8874d707939c44862154f20.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160902/76590143a78cd3c56e40e78986ac8235.jpg Also threw my repaired Acme back on.

Looks great! Really thinking about deleting the muffler on my mojo as it has something bouncing around inside of it. Let us know how it sounds minus muffler.

Here is a little test in the driveway at idle. It seems reasonable to me. Especially once I get the floor panel in etc. If it does bother me I thought I could wrap the exhaust tubes with Thermotec. It would reduce the sound inside the cabin.

I also realized the picture I posted last night didn't have everything finished. WTF? We can't have that.
