Gotta love the sound headers add to the exhaust. I would be on the list but seeing my Wife is going to replace her 06 Mustang with a new SS/RS Camaro with the understanding that I get a turbo kit & tranny mods.

I told her she can't have more horsepower than me. I'm the car guy

Most normal sized aftermarket mufflers should fit right up in there.

I have not heard from Nick since I picked my car up after the prototypes were made even though I've emailed him since then. William, if you hear anything about when they want my car back please let me know.

The lack of communication with the car's owner is a little worrisome...

By the way, Mel, very nice car. Typically I am not really thrilled about the Monte Carlo SSs (I prefer 4 doors), but yours looks awesome. Good job.

Such as? I would guess the Cartuning Turbo Kit, but that's probably out, since you're getting headers.

And by the way, my best friend and his wife flew down to Louisiana (his parents and little sister live there) to go to Mardi Gras, this past weekend. He has convinced me that I WILL be going to Mardi Gras next year.
