Seach for po' man de-cat. It's around here somewhere.

(hard as hell to work thru that opening....no good tool 4 the job) If i find that doesn't cut it i'll go straight pipe. But Dizze, how loud would you sai it is? I know it's hard to describe accurately, but is it a lot louder than tor w/cat?

With the short TORs and the cat there's a bit of droning. Without it, the droning is eliminated and I think you'll be please with the result.

it snarls. The sound of power.

| | Posted : 17 Sep 2012 - 18:10 Post title : Re: Elbow doesn't fit? (Re: DizzE) | | | But i'm not talking type of sound, i'm talking volume. I just enlarged the cat holes and it's about as loud as i wanna go. I'm not getting the power i was when the temp cat plate buckled, but then it was horribly loud which i didnt realize till i heard it w/o ear plugs. They tend to make loud and not loud sound about the same it seems.
Jeff, i did see that and i am about to reply again.

Loud for those behind? I'm leaving.
Loud for those ahead? I'm not there, yet, am I? 
Oh, do you mean for yourself? Is volume more important than quality? As a sound guy, you want the best of both.
I understand.
