Meanwhile i took a critical look at the dB-killer in the MTC can, after reading reports of people losing it underway... That is a crap indeed and just waits to give way to the pulses from the big single. MIG-Spotwelded only... And the bend at one place to make the bolt fit in also is very sensitive to metal-fatigue.









So what i did was flowing the existing welds with TIG, so that they would melt out and hold at bigger surfaces, instead of just laying on top of the metal.
Also i milled a ring that carries in the whole inner diameter of the exhaust outlet-pipe. This came in place of the bent part where the locking bolt goes and i welded it through all around. That way hopefully the dB-killer cannot vibrate anymore. Also stops leaking along the sides, making the sound a tick less loud and even a bit fuller.
