My car didnt have a damn thing, when I got it, just the dash and center consel

I added the plastics and carpet back in to make it appear more factory


Without the carpet it was very loud and noisy and the open Y pipe was really boomy in low RPM

With the carpet back in, and true dauls with bullets dump it was much much better in low rpms cruising and light throttle but still loud as hell past that


So if I was driving alot, like I was, leave the factory carpet and dauls with a little longer of a bullet muffler to get crusing noise down


Didnt really bother me though

Now, if you could just find a way to get that into an air compressor to air up your front's with ... 1/10th off your 60'.

Old thread but...
At 2900lbs and over 300rwhp, would that put you in mid-12s?

Should be deep 11's
I ran 12.02@109(+2200 DA) with 319RWHP and 310RWTQ(unlocked converter) I only had 80lbs off the front end and a couple bolt ons... With gears and suspension it would have been 11.8-11.9.....

Stripping the interrior isn't worth the few lbs your going to lose and the noise your going to gain. At least save everything that you take out so you can put it back in later on.
