quick update:
1. under-tank K&N mod is in - didn't feel much different but it should help after tune.
2. Removed PCIII Accelerator feature as I want a fule dyno tune without it
and MD says it may just be wasting fuel.
3. Took an average of the map I had (Jardine averaged with MDs) and
averaged it again with MDs except I put the 0 throttle 1250 RPM and
higer values back in as the backfiring returned when I lowered them.
4. Going on the dyno Wednesday - yeah.
5. Read up on the resistor mod. May do it this weekend.
I also sent Jardine a second email for help on the painful axhaust
harmonic problem. It is no longer improving and will cause hearing loss
eventually if I don't get it resolved. Ear plugs didn't work.
It looks like everything is tightened up OK (too tight?) and all the chrome
pieces appear to be installed properly and nothing is vibrating against
the frame as far as I can tell.
I guess I could loosen the mounts to see if it is bound up.
I was also thinking about using heat wrap underneath where the two
pipes connect.
Luckily, my MP3 player headphones seem to help mask the problem.
I have a 1,000 mile trip coming up and it is going suck if I have a headache the whole time...
