Well, you're going to love the exhaust. I can't get enough of the exhaust note on my car. Best mod I've done so far. That is, until I get a cam. lol

Yeah I was hooked the first time I heard your soundclips. Up until that point I was torn between ORY/CB or just going TD's and that vid settled it lol. You don't remember where you got your mufflers, do you? Where they called Flowsounds? Those are the only single chamber ones I'm findin on ebay...

Only one of em I know for sure is on the board. Hes KW4life06. His car is a '00 SS NBM. The rest I dont think are on the boards but: Logan 01(?) SS white, Brandon 97 Z28 Red, Tyler 96(?) WS6 Black, Curtis 97 WS6 White, Mike 97 Z28 Red, Thomas 95 Z28 White. and then Scott has a couple of LS1s and an LT1 that are all white.

Theres a few more LT1's I know of but they aren't into racing or anything. You know any of those guys? Do you go out to the street races on the weekend? I never really went out much before this summer so I don't know many people that are in that scene except who I already hang out with. I'm probably overestimating when I say I know "most" of the LT1's in CR but if I see one I go find them later. lol

Iowa guy here. LT-1 car. Although I am not around right now, my car is down in Davenport. Its been going through some major overhauls since summer 08', so maybe this summer if your in the Davenport area i'll be around. Anyone take their LT-1's out to SpeedInc to have them tuned? Or is there another dyno you are using on the Iowa side?

They were from a company called, performance-curve. But, looking through their inventory on eBay, it looks like they don't have the 2.5" ones anymore, only 3" single chambers. You'd probably be better off running 3" duals anyways, that way you won't have to get reducers from the collectors to the piping, like I did.

They will be having a open house on the 23rd of this month i've heard. also maybe a bikini contest. idk. They've had bike night there last yr and it was huge. we'll see if the car guys flock over there. They have a myspace page.

You may wanna wait till the streets clear up if you want my car...I don't think the drag radials will get along w/ the snow too well haha


When's the first cruise night at porky's II? I know it's a long ways off but maybe it'll help lift my spirits of this shitty weather lol

Whoa... wonder if I can adapt it to the C5?! A little tape should do it. Leaving it unpainted would look sooooo sweet too.
