Lol, the never ending arguement. Personally, I think the original tastes like crap, it makes me sick, and makes me have to spit a lot. Rockstar doesn't, even the original I think tastes better than monster.

The stuff I've had the most is Rockstar, but considering how jittery that stuff makes me, I try not to drink too much during work... There are times I'd make a LOT of typos from being so wired.

LOL, I have never gotten THAT jittery from an energy drink!

2.5" SDR26 is a perfect fit for standard soda cans...if you can find it.

2.75 (2-3/4 inch) tail pipe from a autoparts store. 2.75 is the OD the ID 2.625 or 2-5/8ths.

Kicks like a shotgun with soda cans.

That's quite a big QEV you have there. Is it one of those ASCO pulse valves that everyone was buying?

Yes - The Valve is a ASCO 1.5" irrigation valve.
The chamber is 16 inches x 2.75 ID 1/8th inch heavy wall tubing.
The barrel is 30 inches x 2.625 ID 17 gauge thin wall tubing.
The nipples and elboe are 1.5 inch pipe. I welded the chamber solid.
Added gauge & dial valve courtesy of Home Depot after I drilled and welded in a 1/4 NPT plug.

The gun is perfectly balanced rite at the valve.
