Question: Has the VMAX Pitts Style Muffler been upgraded? If so, what changed and how can I tell an upgraded muffler from earlier production?
Answer: Yes in mid 2004 the VMAX Pitts Style Muffler was upgraded. These are sold as stand alone mufflers to fit most popular 46-52 and 61 size engines AND provided at no charge per various special offers.
Here is what changed:
- The fit and finish was greatly improved.
- The production of the crankcase mounting flange was moved to an automated process to improve the consistency of flatness, fit, spacing between mounting holes and the bolt hole threads.
- A new high temperature plating process was implemented.
- The exterior color was changed from black to silver.
- In early 2005 a logo was impressed into the product.
