definitely want to hear your set-up in person. i have to head out to a "brunch" (so gay ) this morning with the fiance's parents, so i wont be around until after noon sometime. if i miss you, i can always roll my renta-hyndai down to the belvoir area and meet up with you later. let me know.
DAm !
They stole your tires ?

I was driving through Alexandria today, and pulled up behind Valdeztke!
Saw the bullets and had to hear, so pulled up alongside. He very kindly obliged, and made that bad boy scream! What a sound! My wife and I loved it. Very nice ride, although I didn't have a chance to time him.
Good job, mang! You sure saved a bundle doing it yourself.

Corsa sports it will be a lil less loud than the bullets...I think they are just loud all through the RPM ranges. The Corsas have a more euro/italian sound. The Bullets are basically ...well straight pipes with a small resonator from a 60's muscle car ... hehe


Gmoller - Nice to meet you. If you need a hand putting on an exhaust or something let me know!
