M8 the thing

[fearthis]

I was just wondering if anyone has heard the thing can on the M series sleds or if anyone knows someone that has one on their M. I was just wondering how they sound and if they are as loud as MBRP or Jaws and how they perform. Ive been thinking about putting one on my 2010 M8 so that i would be different from everyone else in my area, but i dont know much about them. So if anyone could let me know i would really appreciate it. Thanks

those i believe are made at the sled in revy. we were in their 3 weeks ago and they didn't have any but i believe were working on them. buddy bought one for his new rmk pro and they are building them with built in muff pots and man does it ever work slick. oh and the sound was slightly louder then stock, not bad at all.

I have "The Thing" on my 2007 M8. The can, BDX intake and Speedwerx y-pipe makes for a very loud sled, but I don't mind.

I haven't run the stock can so I can't comment on power gain/loss but the thing is definitely way lighter than stock.

One thing I don't like about my can is that there isn't enough support. I'm not sure if they have changed the design since mine was built but mine doesn't have any posts down to the bottom mounts used by the stock can and is only supported by the pipe and the top pin. Also, there isn't room for a rubber grommet were the can pins on so at idle it bangs around a lot and mine has actually wore about an 1/8" groove in the top pin now. I ended up making my own support with some mechanic's wire and a spring. This helped keep the pipe sitting up where it should and not on my plug caps and power valves. Oh yeah, and my thing rubbed through the aluminum exhaust outlet before I bought the sled and added support.

If any of the problem areas I mention don't make sense, PM me and I can send some pictures.

Never heard one on an M8, but on an M1000 they're just plain obnoxious!

Im running a D&D on my 11 HCR and its loud enough and does have post mounts although they seem to come of the mounting holes often. Not sure about power gain.
