Post by: 2Nubs on February 25, 2019, 12:05:26 PM: Very cool. Every time I hear the word Puma I try to think about what another 100cc's on a 330 would be like lol. Good luck with the build.

yes going to be running a pwk. Most likely a led pipe. I have been looking to see what else is available.

Not much else available unless you want to move to a higher rpm/powerband pipe - I assume you're having this built as a torque monster like mine?

Title: Re: My cry once going big puma build
Post by: Tbone07 on April 23, 2019, 09:00:24 PM: So what's the plan for the pipe? Clear powder? Clear cerakote? Chrome? Raw?
Title: Re: My cry once going big puma build
Post by: hickwheeler on April 23, 2019, 09:16:58 PM: Raw I tried a high temp clear once. It didn't work. Someone I trust advised me to not have it ceramic coated. So all natural it will be

Just a test. I’ll delete the pic. Don’t want to contaminate your thread.

Modified a cascade today to quiet it down.

How much of a noise reduction do you feel is there? On mine, I didn't test with a meter but while it is quieter it's not as much as I had thought it would be.
