I have only filled up the tank once, so I'll post MPG once it's all done. AS for chopping off the fender vs just removing it, I needed to put the plate and brake light somewhere, but after I put the struts on I might change my mind, and find a way to remount the light and plate.

Can you explain exactly what you did to get that muffler on? Where did you cut the original off to get the new one on ? It looks great.

Are those the original pipes coming out of the motor or did you change those along with the muffler ?

Re: GZ250 "Street Fighter" - Work in Progress
 

I put the new pipe on using the stock bracket. The Jardin muffler actually has a threaded hole on the inside that lined un with the stock. I measured the stock to the point before the stock muffler, where the "entry end" of the new muffler would provide at least 2-3" of overlap. Then I just cut it off with a sawzall, and if I had wanted to stay chrome I would have just used the provided tension strap, and been done.

But, my headers were a bit pitted, so I scoured them a bit, then wrapped them with exhaust wrap. That's why they look different coming out of the motor. I've seen some posts on here saying they'd make the engine hotter, but in fact, they facilitate heat transfer, so the engine should run cooler. The exposed stock pipe at the end definitely got hotter though, and started to blue almost immediately. I ended up using the "heat shield" that came with the Jardin to bridge the gap, and now no one's the wiser.

The Stebel Air Horn is 139 db. That is a whole bunch louder than 113 db. Got one waiting to go on the truck too.

Re: GZ250 "Street Fighter" - Work in Progress
 

I couldn't imagine what 139dB would sound like O_o

did have to adjust your carb mix after putting on the new exhaust?
