I was wondering Ron if there might be a cheap way to test out a straight
pipe nonmuffer system. Could some cheap piping such as stove piping or even
a piece of large of PVC be used? Of course you would only run the engine for
a very short time. I would think that even a short run of say 15 or 20
seconds would tell you what you wanted to know about noise levels and
harshness. What do think?
