Question Any people from the Pittsburgh area?

Im trying to find anyone in the Pittsburgh area with a Trans Am or Camaro with a custom loud exhaust. It would be helpful to hear a car like that to help me decide on what setup to get for my LS1. H or X with bullets or sweet thunders or what not. So if anyone wouldn't mind to meet up to compare cars, private message me.
thanx

Check out Pittspeed.com, you should be able to find people on that site with the type of exhaust you want to hear.

and back to the topic, mine is not exactly custom but it is pretty damn loud. it's actually borderline annoying.

Let me know when your headed up there. I haven't been up there at all this year and was hoping to get to see how that 408 runs anyhow. I got the 4:10's just haven't got em in yet. As far as true duals nobody down this way that I know of has them. There are a couple annoyingly loud F-bodies down here in Wash. Pa that sound like hell but no TD's.

I'm in the area, but only running LT's ORY and a Magnaflow (w/cutout).

The cam is what really makes her loud. Let me know when you guys head up to the track as well. I'd love to see 'em run!

What probems are you having with the tuning?? I have a set of ET Streets mounted on a set of 16" Chrome Firebird wheels you may be interested in. That would definately take care of the traction issue.

I am going to wait for the weather to cool off a bit. I hate sweating my ***** off at the track and the DA has been between 3500-4000'

Tuning problem #1 = I don't know how.
Tuning problem #2 = I don't have time to take it anywhere or to anyone who knows how to tune it.

The ET streets would definetly curb the traction problem, but i am trying to swap an M6 into my car and and attempting to save some cash for that. I have about 3 sets of rims lying around at different places, just haven't gotten around to getting tires.

Definetly too hot outside to do anything right now. I am hoping to have the entire M6 swap done relatively soon (next few months) and then I am going to give it a shot at the track.
