Another guess what I did ?

This was one of the loudest bangs I have ever heard, and the flash was pretty dramatic also .
My neighbors came runnin' to see if I made it . Im fine .

This reminds me when a next store neighbor's car battery exploded. HOLY MOLY! That thing was loud. It was gunshot loud. I went over and the whole bottom of the hood was covered in battery acid.

I took him to LAPS and got a new one. Glad you and your shorts are okay.

I blew up a battery in a BMW once. It was in the trunk so it sounded like somebody lit off a 12 gauge in the backseat.

That sort of stuff will get your attention.

How did you blow up the muffler?

I did that on an old F150 with a 351 Windsor. Engine running, turn the key off while rolling, pump the pedal, fire the engine and BOOM! Muffler is gone.

You blew a muffler and now you're putting it into a Thrush box to send it back to Thrush to see if you can get it warrantied?
