Default Drove the Formy around tonite...

Hard to get traction when it's 38F out, but I tried. It's been a long time since I made passes on Western Avenue.

Cool, I can't wait until mines back together. It's been so nice I would have had mine out a few times this winter.

Sounds fun, wish I was doing the same, except we have salt on the road down here already. Thats a lot of torque for that road temp, it would be tricky.

I just put tags and street insurance back on the car so I can drive it on the street again.

Hey KP how does your car sound with that new 4" muffler? I swear this 4" bullet makes the car louder.

This muffler is 10x quieter then the bullet was, it wasnt bad driving it around. The bullet got pretty annoying after 5 minutes. At least you can do something with the thing, better a fast street car then a slow race car lol.

split flow, kinda looks like an XR1 but 1/2 the price. Made a huge difference from the single 4" dynomax bullet.

Good deal, I'll swap it on when I get a chance. I had dual Borla XR1's a few years ago and they were pretty good sounding. So Kev your exhaust is 3" headers going into a 4" single to the rear end?

yea, 3" Y pipe to a flowmaster collector to a 4" muffler with a turndown about 3" from the axle tube.

With the bullet it was bad even with a helmet on, I swear the bullet made the car louder..
