Seriously you read the instructions even when they are in English? really?What good does it do me, if the instructions are in Spanish?

20 days, bitches!
There is a really good chance that I don't like the sound of this pipe. Therefore I am fully prepared to take it apart and fiddle with it!
Also, If anyone knows of a cheap/easy way to get just the end caps then I can probably make a few titanium mufflers. But that's kind of a side point.

OK well I went down to the post office at lunch and picked up this bad boy. So far I've opened the box and inspected the contents and also weighed the muffler. Sound comparisons will have to wait till Sunday when I get a chance to install it (and my Zoom H1 has come in).
The box:
![Packing materials Package delivery Shipping box Wood Gas]()
Unpacked box. Boy oh boy is this stuff tightly packed. Make sure you factor in a good 5 minutes and a really sharp blade to get all the bubble wrap and tape off:
![Shipping box Packing materials Wood Rectangle Carton]()
Smaller parts. This includes the pipe to muff connector, springs, exhaust holder and protector. I have a huge gripe here. The exhaust holder is horrible. Merely a piece of aluminium with a rubber sleeve to go on it. Surely there is a better way:
![Wood Cup Drinkware Adhesive tape Office supplies]()
Weight. 0.7kg by itself. When I measured myself holding and not holding the muffler it was 0.8kg difference. So we can say 0.7 to 0.8 kg. Light:
![Rectangle Composite material Gadget Gas Aluminium]()
Outlet. Good looking thing this is. Welds are quality:
![Camera lens Camera accessory Audio equipment Cameras & optics Lens]()
Inlet. Again craftsmanship is flawless:
![Automotive lighting Rim Carbon Bumper Audio equipment]()
Chips. There are a few small chips on the very edge of the carbon. Can we expect it to be flawless for $140? I think this is fine:
![Cylinder Rectangle Gas Auto part Carbon]()
Build Quality: 8/10
1 point off for the chips, 1 point off for the dodgy holder.
More to come when I get to install it ;D

Haha too right. I'll make sure to weigh my cut down $36 muffler to compare. I'm sure there's a stock weight around somewhere (Tyga website if memory serves).
My audio recorder is somewhere between Florida and here. Hopefully it gets here before the weekend. Otherwise I can use my old camcorder and external mic to get decent audio grabs.
