I woke up and ran outside. It was pouring outside. I look at my car and it was parked backwards just like in my dream. Someone pried open my T-tops and the driver side door was open only it was a lambo door and my car turned white. The interior of my car was soaked. I popped open my hood and my Fast 92 inake was gone but they had left the TB only it wasn't a 92mm it was a Vic Jr. set up.

I had a nightmare inside a nightmare. WTF???

I was so pissed in the dream I woke up pissed off.
I walked outside in real life and my buddies truck had a flat. No spare. I pump it up with a bike pump I had to ride in the hot sun to my mom's house to get. You ever pump a truck tire with a bike pump? It's a work out.
Then I went to go see my car and the shop was closed.(My fault it was almost 6pm and I didnt call first)
I was expecting to wake up again but didn't.

* End of Rant

Almost, I am trying to figure out what exhaust setup to go with. I want true duals w/o cats but want to be able to talk to the girl next to me at redlights.
I was thing 30" sweet-thunder pipes but don't know if it would br to loud. Maybe some kind of Flowmaster muffler?
Any suggestions?


The car is getting tuned on the 12th if I can make up my mind on the exhaust.

As for the SS emblem. That was how it came in the shop.

True Duals seem to never fit right & too loud.U can still make good HP W/a good catback and dont have to worry about it bottoming out or too loud but if i was going to do true duals i would run Dynomax Ultra-Flo 4'' Bullet Mufflers.

If you haven't already found a shop, I had Ray at Prospect Muffler do my x-pipe setup. He has done MANY F-bodies and really knows his stuff. I am more than satisfied the way mine came out.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I decided to go with Mad Hatter. When I worked at a dealership we sent all our work to him. Then I found out one of the guys I trained with at ASEP to work on cars was the boss' nephews. Then when I went to Lashway they recommended them so I was like, dam must be fate. lol

We'll see how it turns out

PS those new rears you picked up look great.

Thanks! They turned out great. I have only dealt with the "original" Mad Hatter (the one that used to be on 441 just south of Griffin). He did awesome work. I'm sure the guys down on Dixie are good too. When do you expect the car to be back on the road?

SS emblem was added by the customer...yuck...but it can always be relocated

BTW, I had Steve at Mad Hatter build my TD set up in my 2002 SS...was flawless...and went over the axle into my factory CME...

I had to use the BMR panhard relo though for sure!

I like how the exhaust looks (solid welds). I can't wait to hear it. I had Mad Hatter install 3" piping into a nice Flowmaster merge then 3" piping over the axle into a MagnaFlow muffler with chrome tips.

Car should be tuned on the 12th.

Yes, lol

It was a joke when I worked at a dealership. I sanded it down and painted it yellow just to mess with a co-worker.

When I get my rear from MWC I wanna powder coat it yellow

Fingers crossed
