Default Some great compliments.....

Yesterday at lunch, I met a few of my old co-workers. They wanted to check out my car since I had the MN6 tranny swap and Kooks headers installed. They are both car guys (one has Mustang GT and the other a new G35). To say the least, they were blown away by my "new" car. I got on it a few times while one guy followed in his G35, and he said, "holy crap, that thing sounds awesome...it sounds like a race car". The Mustang guy said, "man, I don't want to go back to my crappy Mustang now". Man, you gotta love these cars, and you gotta love 'em more with LT's.

Congrats on the compliments.

I just got the Supermaxx headers installed and haven't even been able to take it out for a trial run, just to hear them. Snowed the next day.

Can't stand the wait and it might be a long one.

Hi REDEVIL -

Congrats! A friend of mine had kooks on his car - and yes, it sounded like a race car (at least when he got into it a bit...)

That's kinda funny about the stang owner -

I took the son of a criend of mine son out for a drive in my Z06 - and I let him drive it a little while.

He had a Mustang Cobra (newer body style but not the supercharged one...). Shortly after I let him drive the Z, he sold his Cobra and bought a saturn - he says he is saving for a C5 - he could not live with the cobra after driving the Z......

I guess I ruined him lol (or saved him? You decide lol)

best regards -

mqqn

Had a similar think happen with me today. Took a co-worker out to hear the new B&B Bullets, them took him for a launch onto the highway. This guy has a Mustang GT and he fell in love with the car and the sound. Soon after we got back to work I got and email from him and he wanted to know the website for B&B so that he could look into there exhaust systems for his GT.

That's quite a compliment coming from someone that drives a GT. They may be fords and a lesser car but a lot of them really sound great to me. Maybe the best sounding stock exhaust ever.

Congrats on the B&Bs... they must sound awsome.
