Cool My 402 is on the way :)

I can't WAIT to fire her up next week

With all the bad luck I had over the past month (One car's motor blown, another car's tranny trashed, and our other car t-boned ) I'm excited to get the new motor.

I just wanna know how she's gonna sound through these big Kooks 1 7/8 stepped to 2" and the Corsa . . . anybody have a link to a sound clip with a big-cube motor with a similar exhaust?

I already searched with no success.

Hope everthing goes well with the new motor. You will love it. Here's a audio of mine idling. I have the QTP 1-7/8" headers and Y with a Hooker catback.
