    Anyone tried XB Extremeblasters?

    R3R exhaust collector box, popping

    i replaced straight through cross-over back to the original collector box and the popping is down to zero, im happy with slightly reduced power, maybe running slightly rich, with zero popping - the popping with cross-over on closed throttle was incessant and irritating. the bigger collector...
