Probably 2-2 weeks.  Ellen can't get in the Lotus.  Miata?  No problem.  New car warranty, Mazda reliability, towards the end of gasoline Miatas?  What could be better?

Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense. I am still looking for a set...

Carbons sleeved mufflers never had baffles. Mainly because they would get too hot and burn the carbon, or so I have read.
Only the Homologated Titanium sleeve mufflers had baffles. 71662PR (titanium sleeve, steel endcap) and 71662RK (titanium sleeve, carbon end cap).  The Homologated mufflers have as a groove interior at the end for a C-Type retaining clip. The baffle slides in then you put in the clip.

You fell out of like with it that quickly?

I just found out the Gene Brown passed away. I bought my first motorcycle from him, a 1987 Honda CBR600 Hurricane.

The Enduro version of the Ducati 450 motocross bike won the Biltwell 100 with Jordan Graham piloting. Hard to believe a Ducati flying over whoop de doos in the desert.

Yes the CEO of Ducati North America Jason Chinock had a specially built Ducati 450 RT built so he could compete in the 1971 t0 1990 twin shock class at the Biltwell 100 which was an off road race.  The bike is a beauty.
