Jacksc,

Welcome to the greatest FORUM on the net and in the world. You will soon learn that we all have fun personalities and love to play around with everyone. I wanted to recommend a couple of exhausts ordeals from BORLA. You can find straight pipes that cut out any and all mufflers and gives it a typical muscle car sound. I have a track run and a rev before and after with the straight pipes on, send me a email:

mph1972@yahoo.com

That is if you are interested. I did swap (or add the resonator) and went with BORLA's XR-1 Racing system. This is a nice deep sound at Wide Open Throttle (WOT - you will see this abbreviation alot here), has the standard BORLA drone at 65-70 mph and you can hear a nice dead (not annoying) idle sound. I love my XR-1 Racing System and sounds great on the strip (sorry no clips of these).

Hope these suggestions interest you. Good luck and welcome!


Micah

The resonator is a muffler (centerline type)...
