Fins are pre-cut pluwood.

Just looked thru every catalog i have from "off brand" wannabee companies from the 80s up. The only thing close is from a company called Apogee Components (not the current one), only made a few min. dia tubes, there IS 1 in there like yours, but is an inch longer & uses pre cut fiberglass (called waferglass) fins... . Now, u saying the nc is 2 piece changes a lot. Since i put the cats. up-will have to get back out, dont remember seeing a 2 pc. from CMR. So-i'll check. Dont change the kit any, have you?---the sound barrier backup Could make a dif., as FSI made a kit designed to break the sound barrier, and advertised it proudly...
