Default That's just what i thought. I may pull the trigger on it. My Bailey is not working *again*.

It seemed just fine for a few days, now it's sticking I think. Got a little flutter yesterday and a *nice* solid thud this AM - ouch.

Time to rework the pipes to the fmic. I think I have a restriction where one of my current pipes connects. It looks like it reduces down to about 1.75 or a little less for a couple inches... That may be too small for the flow of the Stage 3???

I just ordered a whole BUNCH of 2 inch mandrel bent pipes -90's 45's 75's u bends j bends a 2.5 inch sweeping pipe to transition into the intake etc etc. - and silicone couplers, hump hoses blah blah = Fun, fun.
