Awesome. That's the car I thought of when I saw your signature. That's the only Tom Henry car I've ever seen. Very Nice.

Looks awesome! What catback is that?

I definitely agree about the polished wheels being a pain to clean. I ended up going with chrome when I got my TTM wheels.

Thanks, as for the catback...
It's a "Hybrid", LOL.

Dynomax I pipe
Dynomax over axle pipe
SLP dual/dual muffler
SLP stainless tailpipes
Ebay tips.

Got about $300 total invested in it.
$450 if you include the electric cutout.

Cutout closed:

Cutout open:

Runs the same ET/MPH open or closed, but I like the open WOT sound at the track, yet love the quiet closed exhaust note when cruising...

LOL...sorry.

My absolute favorite thing is how much more radical my car sounds idling with the cutout open. Closed, it sounds like the baby 226 cam that it is, but open, it sounds pretty cocky IMO. I need to get an open vs. closed idle video...maybe tomorrow if it isn't raining.

My son has his learner's permit and I let him drive my car about 2 weeks ago. While we were headed back home I reached over and flipped the switch to open the cutout...He loves it too.

Yea I'd definitely have to get the electric ones. The problem is I have true duals so I'd have to buy 2. Let me know if you get that video up... Oh and sorry for the lol

When he says he has had a lot of cars, that is an understatement. Looks good Bob, has a sick stance now. You ought to leave those wheels on for about a month before you change them haha.

woohoo, I finally learned how to multi-quote.

LOL...slightly. Actually, this is the best that the car has ridden and handled since I bought it. The stock F1's are hard as a rock, the skinnies can sometimes be downright nerve-racking, and near bald drag radials....well, you get the picture

Me too. You see lots of them, but they all look good IMO.

70-something is not REALLY a lot IMHO, LOL. Thanks Ryan. I love the new look, so they may be on for at least TWO months, haha.

Thanks Matt. I swapped my ProStar setup for this setup, even up. Just picked up another pair of 17x9.5 TT2's for the drag radials, today.
