Remove the Discs!
The difference in sound is remarkable. Here's a tip from somebody who learned the hard way: first, remove the bolt that connects the pipe to the rocker panel, then remove the two nuts that hold the attenuator in place. First time I removed the nuts first thinking I could pull the pieces apart and remove the disc; bad idea.
Oh, mine is No. 128 - picked it up last night and removed the discs this morning. Hell of a car!

Sweet, I think the red/black is my favorite combo even though I didn't order it. So how loud is it? Think your neighbors will complain? Tell us more....

Sounds like it's a little late for a before and after comparison
Great looking Boss, and thanks for the removal tip. Did the pipes go back together easily without the discs? Was there enough movement to allow you to bolt it back to the rocker?

Ah so it is. I don't remember seeing the thin piece on earlier photos, just the thick spacer. That photo is from the February event with production cars. Maybe the thick spacer is there to leave room for electric dump valves. Let's hope anyway.

Has anyone found an electric dump valve for the BOSS?

So it looks like the disc has depth to it. So you remove the bolts, slide the whole assembly out, remove the disc, and reinstall the assembly sans disc. The dump valves would replace the whole assembly I guess. I'll remove mine but if it's too loud I'll open up the hole in the disc and reinstall. I guess you can tune the sound to your liking. Sweet. We'll have to track different sizes in the hole. Anyone got a decibel meter? Oh I do.
What we really need to know is if and how much of a HP gain there might be from removing the disc.
