That.... is a nice sound!
I like the part where the exhaust knocks the cameras over.
Do you not have boys that will rev the engine up for dad?

So I remembered I had a DB guage in my bag of tricks from when I used to care about setting my home theater system, so I pulled it out and took some measurements.
The old mufflers and the new ones are pretty much identical on sound level. They are both at about 75 DB at idle and 83 Db at 2000 RPM
This is taken from in the drivers seat and in the garage (I am sure it would be a lot lower if the buggy was outside)
The main difference is the sound, the old ones are a lot higher sounding when the new ones are a deeper sound.
A little loud for my tastes however so I am definitely going to try to get them mounted in the middle of the exhaust to make as long of a tail pipe as I can.
EDIT - So I just took if for a quick drive - 90db going down the road at about 2500 rpm - way too loud

I like it!! Nothing worse then having to turn the buggy off so you can hear people hooting and hollering after you made it up a climb.
Took out the old rad, cut out the old brackets, and the thing fits pretty good:
I have 2.5" of space between the rad and the pully.
My current fan is 3.5"
Found this one on Summit:

2.5" - 1600 CFM
Anybody want to buy my old ran and fan?

I was a little tighter on clearances than you, so I went this route:

Works well to keep the SBC cool in high, not quite enough air flow in low. No shroud at the moment, similar sized rad. I hope whenever the LQ4 goes in I'll have enough room to throw a shroud on for peace of mind.

Is your rad a crossflow? Or regular 2 core?
Crossflow, single pass. I think it's this one:

Or close to it. In hind sight, Summit has a house brand CJ SBC conversion rad for the same price that I wish I had seen. Getting the brackets TIG welded on cost more than the rad, and they blew a bunch of holes in it. Next one will probably be the same one you picked up, but I'll just build a damn cradle instead. Sucks not having a welder yet.

Looks good!
