I had the sport tubes with headers all the way, no tail pipes

30 Outlaw,
That looks sweet! Did you have to pull the motors to get them in? Was it difficult to keep the Q&Q option? Did you put them in yourself? As a side note have you ever tried labbed 27 mirages? I got 77mph on GPS this summer with them at about 4900 to 5000 rpm. I also bought a set of Mercury labbed 26p Bravo's for Lake Erie (in rough water the 3 blades break loose real easy) and was hitting the limitter hard and seen 73mph. The 27's might be a nice fit. If you ever get over this way I would let you try them if you like.

sorry for the delay in the response. I did not have to pull the motors. I had my dealer put them in. Keep in good contact with the mechanic and there were some issues with the brackets and screws. Cmi took care of everything though.

I did however do the install on the Q&Q what a pain. Ttook me 5 hours

That's only one motor... I had to cut my down tube on the Q&Q 1 inch because they were hitting the Y tube. Just a lot little things. In the end, all in all Im happy with it. Just waiting on my other Q&Q setup for the port engine.

As far as the props... I have not tried a 3 bladed prop. I might have to take you up on the offer if im in Ohio...

A few more...had the gelcote redone from the moulding down to the chine to cover the factory graphics. I went with viynl (sp?) until I can come up with what I really want to do...the logo and numbers are from my pinstripe/airbrush guy...

Dave-01,
Very nice handy work. Did you make the white plastic doors yourself? Are you interested in selling them when you change the other side? How much did you have to shorten the seat by?
