There has to be a simple mod to make it work. I would think it has to be similar to performing the quad mod but, will leave it to the wise ones to figure out.

It's all about finding the right balance between air in and air out. Modifying your exhaust goes hand in hand with modifying your air intake. A larger more free flowing exhaust allows more air out thus allowing for more air to be let in. If you don't bring more air in then there's going to be very ...
