Exhaust!!!

Just a short blurb:

When I first got my bike, it sounded really rough. I wanted to get it back into good shape so I got a couple chrome mufflers and was happy with that. I never paid too much attention to the crossover pipe. The one that was on there had the opposing tabs that the bolts use to tighten down the ends, broken off. So finally I got a replacement from Eurotech and was happy with it, it was nice and shiny and I thought that that was that. Well a few months went by and I got sick of looking at the old, rusted, non-oem bolts on that pipe, so I ordered replacement OEM bolts. I gotta say, when I got the new bolts, I saw a BIG difference. I no longer had front-end noise, and the engine seemed to be idling better. (before my Boyer) I later read that it's important to have a nice and well sealed exhaust because the puffs of smoke exiting the cylinders actually create a vacuum behind them, there by helping to pull out the next puff. So I invite everyone to take an extra special look at their exhaust and make sure everything is coming out okay.

 

Here's a picture of the crossover pipe I got from Eurotech. PICTURE I wanted to show you because after I had it for about a week, I noticed that it had started blistering. I don't know what caused it, but everyone should beware I think.
