Default Hi Everyone
Hello,

My name is Russell. I just purchased a new 08 Corvette coupe. I've always been into cars and Harley Davidson's. I like to do my own work whenever possible. I'm not the greatest mechanic but I learn something new every time I get my hands dirty.

430HP....... Yea Baby!!!!!

Russell

Yes!!! I didn't want to purchase the dealer installed exhaust system. I'm going to check out my options and see what's available. I'm hoping to surpass 436 HP with some technical help from some friends.
