Getting ready to garage my car for the year. Can't help but sneak it out for the last few days until the snow falls and the salt flys.

O/R X pipe and some "race" mufflers. Not sure if I'm keeping the tails or not. That is about all I got planned. Only reason I'm doing this is some guy wanted to trade my H for his X.

I'm allowed to do these types of things. I'm kind of a big deal.








Plus mine isn't "hey I want to **** you all off because I"m a giant fanboy and can't shove this **** down your throat enough so I'm just going to keep trying until everyone has the same mindset as me" or any other nonsensical bullshit non-kill story that gets posted here.

Damn that sucks! Don't you want something more stout than an LS7 clutch to hold the power with the new hit?

I now kind of wish I would have put a stronger clutch in it... When I picked the clutch for the H/C install.. But it should hold up pretty decent as long as I keep it away from the track. LOL!

The LS7 was an awesome clutch for my car without the nitrous though.
