Super Low Buck Baffles
I've installed the "muffler delete" kit on my '72. Love the way it sounds, but it's kinda loud at idle. Been looking around for some reasonably priced baffles to install inside my tail pipes; saw stuff on the forum , on ebay, in catalogs, but nothing really cheap but effective. So this last weekend our water heater goes out, and I put in a new one... and guess what I found inside the center of the old water heater?

I've got to say, Jim is great to work with. Customer service is quick, shipping even better, packaged real well. Ordered mine last Friday and had them on Tuesday.
They are really nicer quality than I expected. Quality material, welds are nice, stainless hardware, galvanized steel, water jet produced parts. With the patent and cost of machining, I see where Jim needs to charge a hefty price. Seems maybe about $50 lower would have been easier to bite though. I can't wait to install them, but won't have time till the end of the month.

Would love to 'hear' your car with the new baffles.

Oh man, Jim's the best. I've been working with him for the past month or so on getting a pair. I live kinda close to him, and he was glad to actually go to the fabricator himself (the fabrication shop actually ships them out) and get a set for me and hold onto them at his house until I can come get them, and then knock off the shipping charge on top of it. The guy is awesome.
Not to hijack, but does anyone have a sound clip with STS baffles?
And Lowbuck, you are one resourceful man
