so i'm about to drive for 16 hours to nebraska and wanna quiet down the works 76mm TBE (DP, RTP, IP, and AB). I have the anti reversion cone but the thing doesn't fit. i know it requires drilling a hole for the bolt to go through but it won't even fit in the pipe. what gives? anyone have any ideas?

got pics? I installed the anti reversion cone in my AB just fine. It's tricky because you want to be sure you have it seated all of the way and you need to mark it well, or the holes won't line up and then you'll be really unhappy.

in order to install this i was told it has to be put into the actual exhaust pipe, not the "tip" since the bolt that holds it in is nowhere near long enough to go through the tip and into the ARC. in order to get that ARC into the actual pipe and not the tip i'd need to bore into the pipe about 1/4 of an inch because if i tried to shave that much off the ARC it would actually be gone... grrr.

i did just cram it in there for a little while to see what it sounded like while driving around my neighborhood and it does sound a TON quieter... me thinks The Lady would LOVE that on the way to nebraska

just out of curiosity, which AB do you have? The one with the angled tip that follows the rear bumper contour, or the straight cut one?

I was going to offer you the use of my AB, but I have the angled tip one and don't want another straight cut one.

:lol: AH, okay... Good luck with that! You should call the guys at WORKS to ask them for more advice. I recall using the handle of my hammer to tap that ARC into the AB.

i called em and they said they'd look into it and call back. and it's so off that even a hammer wouldn't do the trick.

The Limited Edition (straight-cut) tip has a slightly smaller ID and the ARC needs to be altered in order to fit. WORKS typically takes care of this before shipping if we're aware of the tip it's going in. I'm sure we can work out an exchange, but unsure if it will arrive in time for your upcoming trip.
