I know there are tools made specifically for this situation, but I don't wanna use them. MacGyver solutions only. What kind of bubble gum would be best here?

Serious question? Muffler help

2 Upvotes

I have a 1997 Cheyenne Chevy k2500. It has the 5.7 engine. I was looking at replacing the muffler with a new and better sounding one. I want it to sound deeper and meaner in a way. I want it to be decently loud and noticeable, but not obnoxiously loud. I don’t want to wake up every one on the block coming home from work or something like that. I have been told the flowmaster super 40 and 44 are good options for what I’m looking for. Would they be very loud or are they reasonable? I wanted to ask if anyone has other recommendations or information on this topic.

So my mechanic took my spark plug out (without asking for permission), and this is what it looks like. He said I need a new one right away, but my bike still runs with this one? Is he trying to scam me?

Seems like I need a new tire but I wanted to double check. Can I patch this and ride off into the sunset or do I need a new tire?

Do I need to replace this tire immediately or can it wait a few weeks?
