Hey congrats on a fantastic weekend! Thanks for sharing I recognized your C5 when I saw the tips! I tried to find video of your exhaust at idle back in the day when I first started looking for aftermarket exhaust. I never found any video but I bet they sound great! Gorgeous engine bay too

So, did you win the C7, or just permission to buy one?
