This will hold me over until I can upgrade to a stage 1!

Best bang for the buck.

No arguments against that. I am very pleased with the results!

I tried to fit a set of baffles from some straight shots and had issues with the fiberglass wrap coming out way to quickly. Tried to modify the baffle but couldn't get it quite right. I was gonna run the W158's with those baffles but it turns out that it was a blessing in disguise.

The sound without the baffles and with the W258's in place is much better than what the baffles produced. I never installed the W158's because I wanted to make sure the baffles were gonna work before I installed the TTI'S incase I needed to make an exchange. Good thing because I quickly found the baffles were not my best option.

Thanks to Kevin for the information and recommendations he gave me and to all the rest of the folks at DK Custom Products for helping me with exchanging the W158's for the W258's! Great people and customer service!

Actually, she got rid of me. Smart lady, worked out well for both of us, was able to stay friends. And I got that nice heated and cooled motorcycle shop right next to the kitchen...

Would sure be nice to have a heated and cooled garage/work shop bigger than the house. Put a kitchen and bathroom in it, wouldn't need the house...

If I had that my wife would get rid of me due to never seeing me!

I did as well but it's not quite 78 here. More like 45 but it was still a great little 50 mile ride to clear my mind before the family holiday fun... and I ran into this guy!
