[QUOTE=krwould;14409165]I did get a chance to make those pieces for the mufflers doc.... seem like they were werkin well...


/QUOTE]

In the 60's those were called sumptin like Snuf or nots, couple bucks a pair. Hadda spring to hold tension, so you could reach down and turn em quiet when ya saw a cop. Had em on the straight pipes on the old Honda 305. Just killed the power in quiet mode. Werked good, though, sounded like a 125cc putt putt with em.

Can't see em in the pic, mebbe I'd taken them off. Or lost one, had that happen once, just disappeared.
