Sorry I'll have to pass Larry, if I'd been home this week might have been a different story.

If you are interested in traveling with me let me know.

Hey Larry. I'm thinking of taking the day off and cruising down with you. Let me know...

Well, my car has quite the appetite.... For gas, Camaro's, imports, and as it turns out... Alternators. After doing some friendly "test pulls" with some local car club members down in "Mexico", it killed another alternator (that was the second one that I have put on it)... So, I decided to upgrade. Now just gotta find the time to actually do the swap.

So Monday I had to take or oldest to the airport for a trip to see Grampy down in Florida. I also arranged to pick up a Pypes off road x pipe. Bolted it on today, went on easy no complaints on fit. Started up the car and wow is that loud! I have Flowmaster American thunder axle backs. Now I just need a spark plug defouler to fix that annoying CEL. I found that it sounds a bit raspy in the midrange but overall I like the sound.

I couldn't hear what the cop was saying, but from the look on his face he seemed pretty upset that he didn't have that setup on his police car.

Nice. When my family and I were down there this past weekend my 9 year old asked me why all the mustangs were so loud, so I explained to her that guys like their cars loud and we are modern day Tarzan's beating our chests. lol

The cop liked Chad's exhaust so much he waited near the restaurant for us to leave so he could hear it again. After we gassed up I saw him on the side of the road again. I guess he wanted to make sure we got out of town without being mugged.
