Thanks! And I have read that if you angle turn downs outwards it lessens the risk of reverb/drone bc the sound jas a place to go instead of going straight down and bouncing off the pavement.

No drone. Once I add longtubes we will see if that changes.

Purchased a 67-68 Camaro SS badge for my front grill. Fit perfectly. Just had to modify how it attached. Ended up painting it black which was a huge pain, but it's what I wanted. Turned out just how I wanted.

LS Fest East 2020 was a success for the most part. Got rained out on Saturday so that was a bummer. But had a lot of fun with some friends and my brother got to take his new WS6 to his first show. So all in all a great trip. Pictures to follow.

Couple of random pics I've taken since the last time I've posted.

Awesome car. Those pictures of LS Fest are making me jealous, I didn't go this year because we thought it would end up getting canceled, so we never made plans for it.

Not trying to be shitty, but I think your SS emblem on your grille is upside down. It looks like the top is wider than the bottom.

Yeah we managed to get locked in early. But the only good day was Friday. It sucked after that bc the rain was so bad Saturday. Sorta was a bust other than Friday.

And haha no worries! You are correct it is upside down. My wife actually pointed it out right after I epoxyed it to the grill. 😑 Haha so I haven't tackled the task of somehow pulling it off and flipping it. Not sure what I can use to break down the clear JB weld epoxy. Probably nothing.

Fun little cruise with my wife through the foothills. Hopefully will hit up the tail of the dragon in a couple weeks.

Nice pictures and looks like good company. Nothing better than friends, family, and cars all in one place.

Nice exhaust you picked up. Should make the car a lot more throaty sounding and pick up some HP.

Thank you! Hoping for some car show action this Spring with none being canceled I pray.
