Previous to welding it out, I put some secret "batting" in it to muffle it some. I cut the original mounting tab off the bike and what was left of the muffler. Then I welded it on. It is not the prettiest thing, by any means.
I put some gas in the tank, so far no leaks!
Fired it up, it is no longer loud, sounds pretty close to stock. I did not want to rev it way up since it was like 8:30 when I finished it. I'll throw some paint on it and it should be good.
So, Well I guess you could do it that way....
