Well, Ken, I hope that's not the problem. The gods will just have to get over it 'cause I'm not changing it now!

Yes, Mike, I thought about all that after I settled down a bit. I'm going to take the tailpipes, mufflers, and intermediate pipes off and reassemble it all one piece at a time. If I have to, I'll modify the pieces as I go. Either way I'll report it here as always.
