    New Muffler Sound Laws and Enforcement

    Good, You caught that. Yes, my point was US economy seems based on perception and not quaility. I hope I'm wrong. I hope we aren't living on a giant bubble where many companies real value have been inflated by hype.

    New Muffler Sound Laws and Enforcement

    I'm glad there's at least 1 american motorcycle company still out there, however, HD has been going out of business since the 1970's. With older technology, less performance and slower than others, there should be a college MBA course on how HD keeps this backwards business model going. At...

    New Muffler Sound Laws and Enforcement

    Just a little more FYI - Most performance mufflers are 70-95db, so probably nothing to worry about. 95db is LOUD, VERY LOUD. Noises over 70db start to damage hearing. Noises over 120db immediately damage hearing within seconds. A normal conversation is 50db at 1ft. Screaming is 90-110db at...

    New Muffler Sound Laws and Enforcement

    I apologize if this was already posted somewhere else, but I didn't see it. Every state has noise ordinances, but most are per the discretion of the community and not by a certain DB level. California has developed an entire sound enforcement department and program, which other states are...

    Another heat riser question (1970). Is 720 degrees normal?

    Wow HWYCRZR...You're the man! Mine is upside down from yours. Do you know why? It looks like its 180 degrees from yours, so probably in the wide open position? Seems like engine runs hotter on that side. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe I should just leave it locked up at that...

    Another heat riser question (1970). Is 720 degrees normal?

    Wow, great pics HWYCRZR. This should be all I need. Really, yours turns clockwise as it heats up to open? Many posts say our Mopars go counter clockwise to open? Can you check on that? Thanks!

    Another heat riser question (1970). Is 720 degrees normal?

    OK, I checked it out. Heat riser looks the same all the way around. Where is the heavy side? Other side is just the shaft and a tiny spring. I made a grind mark on the bottom of heat riser representing vertical with ground (see 3rd pic). The flat area on the shaft which is visible in the...

    Another heat riser question (1970). Is 720 degrees normal?

    Great info CBODY67. I'll look at the round counterweight and try to determine which side is heavier. If I need to, I'm just going to keep screwing with it to get it to turn. I know it'll leak but there's enough room to weld it up, or try clamp it down. Trying to remove these old rotted...

    Another heat riser question (1970). Is 720 degrees normal?

    Hi, I did a search but can't find this specific answer. Based on pics, can anyone tell me - Is my heat riser open or closed? It won't turn and unbolting the exhaust might seem easy but moving it out of the way would be a pain in the A (no room). The flat area on the knob is pointing vertical...
