Talking New Member Checkin In

Just wanted to say Hi to you guys and girls. I'm Eric and I just got the opportunity to upgrade to a LS1 Z. My poor Lt1 vette was just fallin apart. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

Also, I'm tryin to find LS1 f-bodys with different exhaust setups that I could listen to. I'm in the Portland, OR area so if anyone wants to meet up that would be awesome. I drag at Portland International Raceway and always like company when racin. Just PM or post or whatever. Hope to hear from you all and have a good week.

Eric

Welcome to the boards. I think Mike and Bobby go to PIR a lot. I have a "different" exhaust set-up that I LOVE the sound of but if you are in Portland there is not much chance of hearing it. Now Boyce's on the other hand ....

you can check out my exhaust if you want.. it sounds different.

JBA shorties.. JBA catless mids.. stock catback

then cutouts on the catless mids.. to uncap for open headers.

goes from very quiet, to pretty loud.


edit: i'm over in hillsboro (and i usually go to woodburn.. i'm planning on being there this saturday)

When was the last time you checked your property value? It is because all you Californians moved up here that our real estate prices have gone to the moon.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. Can't wait to hear some of your setups. For exhaust I'm leanin towards SLP LM2 or maybe save up for a GMMG setup. I'd like to listen to as many as I can first. I'll be in touch with you guys. Thanks again.

Eric
