drilling exhaust?

alot of people have mentioned drilling the exhaust from the end opening.

1. What size drill bit is recommended
2. The little end opening is at an angle pointing downwards a bit in relation to the main large exhaust tank (I guess to direct the exhaust towards the pavement) with the small opening I cant see where more than one hole could be made unless a fairly small drill bit is used and even then they would be close together.
3.I understand I have been a pain with questions getting this Spree which I found thrown away at the curb running well (it still had a 1986 tag on it with 2k miles on odom) but this website is so awesome with people willing to help, I never turn down free help.
3. When I ordered my petcock off E Bay....WINCYCLES actually sent me two (for no extra charge) because they said there were 2 different thread sizes coming off the gastank....I used the smaller of the 2 for mine so now I have an extra new petcock I'm willing to give someone if they just PM me.


Thanks all

1. What size drill bit is recommended i think i used 3/8"

Dunno, seemed to work for me just fine
