Did the seat mod that someone (sorry, can't remember who) posted on here to get the seat back 2 inches. My 6 foot 5 frame approves!

Fitted the Iron Rock Offroad exhaust this morning, which arrived on Wednesday (6 day turnaround from ordering). 2.5" mandrel-bend tail pipe. I went with the Pro-Flo Hybrid muffler. And I got the Magnaflow Hi-flow cat as well. Bit of a baitch to get the old system off, and I needed a 370mm length of 2.5" pipe to make the run between the cat and the muffler (that's more due to the length of the engine pipe on the extractors fitted to my thing I figure). Lucky I did a dummy assembly Wednesday night and was able to get a length of pipe from one of the local exhaust shops yesterday morning! I also cut off and re-used the original pipe hanger from just post the original muffler.

Nice note, and my seat-of-the-pants dyno tells me there is a noticeable improvement in HP and torque (cruised much easier up one of the longer hills around here, settling into 4th earlier and able to hold it). Will probably auger well for the fuel consumption equation. In case anyone's wondering . . . $460-00 landed.

Now . . . to load up and punt over the Brindies tomorrow morning bound for Ravine, or Manjar Track, or who cares where, really.

Hey MTD did you get that off Wooders?
It says on his site that the wheel is mounted behind the driver that's why i ask...
Could you also get a jerry can holder for the other side as it shows two mounts?

yeah its the one wooders offers although it is made for the US left hand drive version thus the wheel mounted on the left. It will take a little longer but you can specify to have the wheel on the right hand side im pretty sure. yes it can accept a jerry can holder but of course thats extra. it mounts to the original bumper mounts (8 bolts if im not mistaken) and also has brackets which mount to the frame rail nuts where the tow bars are mounted to. Give wooders a call. He can sort something out if he can. I kept bugging him about it and he was still nice enough to put up with me (sorry dave).
