Dallas Meet Sat 25th Sept.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VX is in the shop this morning. They "may or may not have time to get to it today". Last night, on the way home from softball, some guy was being an ***** & wouldn't let me over on 121, so I punched it, & BOOM! Sounded like I blew a hole in the muffler or something. Looked like the muffler separated from the exhaust, but it was too dark too tell. PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for me that its something THAT simple. I am totally BUMMED that we can't make it tomorrow, but I'm more stressed that it'll cost a bunch to fix......

Did you actually get up under there with a flashlight and look at the exhaust? Did you notice the seperation? If that is the case, then it is a 5 minute job, and you should have it in no time.

Good luck!

[KristyRemo]

Nope, didn't have a flashlight. Had to use a penlight. =/ I'm HOPING it'll be a 5 minute job!

Thanks for the mail Tom. I appreciate it.

Sounds more lilke the EGR nut came undone. Either way, you could drive to the meet and have one of the guys check it out for you - it will not hurt to drive it that way but if it is the EGR, you may have some dimished performance.

Jay, bring your 22mm wrench.....

Yeah, let me second what Jay said. It was great to see everyone again.
Peace.
Tom

P.S.
Yesterday, I ran into another Ironman owner from Plano. He's had his since '99. He wasn't aware of the board, but now hopefully he will post.

This is what I was thinking. It's happened to the best (most?) of us!

Decent pics... people at meets should take more pics of the owners as well! I like seeing what belongs to whom!

really wanted to make it to the meet, but my carpenter took long than expected... didn't finish until 6pm. will definitely try to make it to the next dallas meet.

thx Tom for all the updates tho.

Well, it ended up costing me $100 bucks, & I didn't even get her back until this morning. Jacka$$es said they just didn't have time. =/ They said the exhaust separated from the muffler & had to be re-welded. Oh well. It's fixed & back in shape & I'm happy. SOOOO wish we had been able to make it to the meet. When's the next one?! I'm ready Freddy! =P

Nope. Took it to a muffler specialty shop.
