Default Ran a 97 White Z last night

A couple buddies of mine went to Hooters last night, I drove, and so did my bud with a 01 Z, on I40, we were showing some ricer on a prelude what a real car was when we ran up on the LT1, my buddy went first, and pulled about 2 cars on him pretty quickly, I went next and was about 2 1/2 cars or so in front, we went from probably a 65 or so roll, maybe a little less, cuz I went to 2nd gear, so the guy follows us to Hooters, and has beer, pretty cool guy, one problem, he don't know **** about his car, said he put 4:10's in and that with his str8 piped stock exhaust added 40 HP ..he proceeded to tell me to change my loudmouth to a flowmaster for a better performance gain..it was hilarious, anyways, fun night, sorry so damn long

They should be called chokemasters. They suck. I have that setup trust me. Just install a cutout on the stock exhaust system.

Lmao, if 4.10s give you 40 hp, i'm puttin 'em in tomorrow!

That's funny about the Flowdisasters. Does he realize that the loudmouth isn't even a muffler? What an idiot. I guess there's always a couple of bad apples out of the bunch.

at least he was not a *****, but i think we should all come together and write a book about the basics of a car, and tell people what will give you true amounts of hp, not gears giving you hp and so on and so forth!

Wow I really hope your joking ... if not, I hope there is time to cancel putting it in. If it's already in ... get a hacksaw, and rip it out.

Just joshin' phantom! Even if the guy wasn't a *****, there's no need to lie and look like an @$$. He would have had more respect with me if he was just straight up! I know I don't know all about cars. You ain't gotta lie to makes friends, we all cool here.

Good kill.

Flowmasters sound awesome but they don't flow as well. A guy on daytonfbody.com said that the flowmaster on his 383 lt1 caused so much backpressure it was blowing header gaskets. He put a Hooker aero chamber muffler in place and it was all good after that.
