Default just back from Ft. Worth...

Got back a little while ago from my trip to Ft. Worth to pickup a Corsa Pace Car tigershark catback system from NorthTexasVette.

Was GREAT working with Derek to get this done!

Here are (hopefully) a before and after shot::

Before




Now:





closeup:





Driving 200 miles in the dark and rain - Pain in the ***
Getting a new catback installed - A lot of FUN!
Getting a GREAT deal from someone of the forum - Priceless!


Sure was great working with NorthTexasVette to get this done! He worked with me to accomidate MY weird schedule and I got a GREAT deal on a very good exhaust!

Thanks everyone! Yeah.. it sure does look a lot better then the stock look... and it sounds GOOD! Not too loud, but you know it's there! For me it's just what I was looking for in sound.

As for cost - they are a bit pricy new... (on Corsa site a new one is about $1200 ) needless to say, I got a GREAT deal on this one from the C5 parts for sale section!

Larry, No, not able to make it. As Wendy does not get off work till 1900, and has to work tomorrow, I thought it best that I did not go to it by myself.
