Default Latest pictures, and video of exhaust

well i needed to get a few pictures of how she looks now, which may very well change again as im still indecisive about my reverse lights ( not the look, the lack of light now ) but i love not having any badges on the back and the blacked out "SS"s on the side are enough for me ...

guys, let me know how she looks ? oh and i got a video at the same time of how my exhaust sounds ... not that unique, but sounds a bit different than anyone elses setup ... sorta like the flowmasters but not quite

oh and thanks to wickstrom chevy for taking care of my problem, even if they didnt actually do anything, they at least washed her for me ... cause there was no way i was going to in 20 degree weather







and as far as the reverse lights go, anyone remember bullet bill from pretty much any mario game ... well when i was niteshading them about 2-3 weeks ago, the shape of the light just kept reminding me of that ... so i did my own version of bullet bill meets WW2 nose art ... but now i cant see for **** when backing up ... oh well ...



and the youtube link -
2006 monte carlo ss with thrush mufflers and res delete

lets see if i cant leave her alone for more than a month without changing something this time ...

what i want to do is replace the amber turn signal bulbs out front with red ... but i think ill get pulled over even more often ...

i thought the same thing when making the video, but you can see an ambulance go by when i drove away ... if only i would have got pulled over part way through the video it would have made it ten times better ... cause im pretty sure where i was is elk grove, and they hate me already ...

sounds excellent!! Hey! I've done the same thing with my turn signals a while back, but I've put blue bulbs in I think I had it on here! Not sure I've been working too damn much! LoL But back to the bulbs and its attention: I got hassled down in Volusia County (Daytona Beach) Florida a few months ago!! But that's about it!

Doc, just curious, which diameter, 2.5 or 3 inch? Can you post up an ***-end shot to show the offset/brackets.

stock piping, retained all the stock brackets and everything, the guy just took new "j" hooks and welded them to the mufflers where the are attached to the stock tips ...

i dont have any pictures of that low of the car since i got the exhaust done, and shes buried in snow right now, but watch this youtube video, and you can see them pretty well ...

and i believe they were side in/ center out 2.25 inch cause it goes from 2.5 to 2.25 at the Y ...

anyway -
