[Exhaust] Instant Testosterone replenishment
If you ever have a chance to unbolt the cat section, do yourself a favor.
Start it up. :reddevil :D
Man, what a sound. Blap-blap-blap, ROOOOAAAR!!!!! You can feel each pulse like it was a old 454 with side pipes, especially while sitting in the garage...
From what I was told, there was an instant dispersal from the living room, dogs and cats ran upstairs, and the GF ran to the garage. :rofl: Neighbors came outside to see who was tuning a NASCAR racecar.
It's a welcome testosterone replenishment, especially after being questioned at length on why one would pass cars on two-lane roads. :skep:

I'll bet it is loud. :eek: My wife would not look too favorably on me if I did that.

Wanted to get the tuning close before this. Plus, no cats can make for a stinky ride so I may not run it for long. :nonod:

Envy sets in....
Ahhhh.
I just had my GHL installed a few weeks ago. While the guy was doing the install, I asked for a gut of the pups only. ( To get a bit of the blat blat blat, instead of hmmmmmm, since they are only used for the first 5 minutes and only after a cold start) A few minutes later, there was open headers in the shop. :D Needless to say, we had to hear the tone. :D I mean who can blame ya. Right? A Few short revs. Maybe a short trip around the block with open headers. Nope. Nothing doing. Just a few short revs. :)
3 hours later, I am smiling still today.

You should hear a really mean cam (239/251 on 106lsa) thump thru some cutouts. I had a guy tell me he didn't know new corvettes could sound so tough. Although, my wife (and neighbors) don't appreciate it much even with the PRT's hooked up.
