You are correct, Bill.

Joe,
Tracy tested the spintech and it worked well. He then took it apart and had it duplicated in SS. Or they built him one in SS. I don't remember. Tracy said it worked well with no problems, other than the appearance. I believe that Tracy and several others are trying the Hushpower II muffler.
