RE: My opinion on exhausts....
Big Gun is the best imo. It offers raw top horsepower gains that have been documented on this website.
I had a screw vibrate out of my BG as well. BG sent all the screws next day (free) and I used locktite to install them. I haven't had anymore work their way out. The BigGun also fits real nice and sounds tough.
And I'm sure "nobrakes" is talking about me when he said that it was really only one guy that was spouting off about his favorite exhaust. That's bull**** and he knows it. He and many others on here were saying the same things about their favorite exhausts. I don't know of anyone who left because of that specific discussion, but if they did that's their problem. Opinions are like you know what, everyone's got one. If you can't handle someone else's, then you better just ignore it or be willing to debate them. But for petes sake, don't be a baby and run away just because of what is being said about a pipe.
There are a lot of good exhausts out there, I prefer the BG for reasons already discussed on this site. But let's not single one fella out and blame one guy for the "pipaqi war" here. I'm kind of surprised Brian would say that, he's a pretty intelligent person and I know he knows that his statement isn't true.

RE: My opinion on exhausts....
i would have contacted big gun for replacement screws but i was kinda in Fl and needed something now.. so i got some screws that i think were a little different thread pattern, so ill probably end up drilling out the existing holes and tapping them agian with bigger screws for the end cap [:@]

RE: My opinion on exhausts....
Hey! Let's not forget the ACME pipe:
FWIW - I added a "Big Gun Stainless Quiet End Spout" to a recent order to see what is does for sound. I know it adds a restriction to the exhaust flow, but for $14, it was worth the gamble to see what its doesto lower the sound. The area of the opening is about the same as that of the Quiet Core Insert, so it shouldn't be that much of a restriction, and definitely less restrictive than the Vortex Insert.

And I defy you to find one place where I've bashed Big Gun or any other pipe. I'll call a spade a spade where it warrants it, but I don't get religious about this stuff, it's just metal after all and I have no vested interested in one over the other.

RE: My opinion on exhausts....
ok here is a pic of the big gun end pieces
OK now the end cap thats silver, not the red edcap, is what i think i may have scewed the threads up on... Stock the screw holes dont go all the way through the piece of alum..... now to fix this the way i think im going to have to is drill those holes completely through thate piece of aluminum, but there will always be screws in that hole, to hold the end cap on. Can anyone see something bad happening from drilling those holes straight through? Its not going to push the screws out or anything will it? Any ideas, or anything?
