Looks like a good start so far. You may want to brace up that H1 frame. I cant wait to see the progress!

You never picked one up.......... :lol:

And just get an early H2 swinger, no frame bracing necessary.

yea...I know the wirges deal.. but have a set and they will be used cause I got em..

these got the internal baffle.. should the entire baffle be removed ? I have no problem taking a sawzall to em ripping them out and rewelding em.

If you do, take 3" out of the center section too. It was lengthened when the baffle was added, since the baffle effectively removes the rear cone from the chamber. If you just take the baffle out, the chamber will be too long.

This is based on my old Wirges pipes without the baffles, not on dyno testing.

My personal dyno testing showed not enough difference to even bother. Just knock out the blocking plate if it is still in there.
