The 5" GGB Extreme mufflers finally arrived on Friday around noon and had them dropped off at a local machine shop we do a lot of work with.
They had to be expanded to 5-13/16" to be able to slip into the end of the tailpipes so a s.s. ring was welded to both ends with mounting tabs to allow them to be bolted in three places. The first pic only has one bolt installed to align it to drill out the other two.
I was anxious to see if they would actually fit into the ends and they slipped in perfectly. It took about four hours to get them lined up and installed, wasn't in a hurry since it was raining and wanted them to be done without mistakes..lol
Here are a few pics, when I fired up the motors I couldn't believe the difference, not sure if I'm going to love the quieter sound but it will make me legal and keep my neighbors happy.
Made it all of five minutes on the water and then met WP boat on the make channel, they promptly came back and stopped me, it was the same officer wanting to know if I'd made the fix or not. I fired them up for him and told him his "Challenger" and the wifey's 883 was now louder than mine...lol...it still has some sound but nothing compared to before. The wifey likes it because you can now hear what is being said without yelling at one another...
