Yes, that will be my choice of mufflers... I want a custom 3" stainless mandrel bent cat-back, when the time is right for me. First I want a Cam and a 10.80 slip, so I can say I did it with the stock cat-back, LoL.


Back to the OP.... Can't wait to see the shop once it's complete!

Congrads Don. I was wondering when the news would go public. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know. I have the name of the cc processing guy and a very good t-shirt/ promotional products guy that I deal with all the time.

This is all happening at the exact right time. My truck will be done at DMC just in time for the new shop

How about stock with an e-cutout?

I think that's the route I'm going next time, if a next time ever comes. I realized that it's a huge advantage when the other driver can't hear their own RPMs at the spectator drags during the launch

Used to think about it, but I hate the sound of a raspy exhaust and that's exactly what cut-outs sound like.... undefined, loud, rasp! So I found a nice way to put in a 3" custom exhaust and that idea is sticking... it'll help the blower/motor breath all the time, unlike a cut-out which would only be opened at the track...
