What is the current setup, stock exh. manifolds, headers, generic mufflers, 2 1/2"?? I take it you are going for LOUD because I think those Rousch race bullets are going to sound like open headers. Interested in hearing the post install video.

Its Patriot midlength headers, 2" exhaust, x-pipe, and cheap thrush mufflers.

Here are the Roush mufflers, and yes it is running rich. And since taking this video I have straightened my tips. What I really need is a rolling video of it, because I love the sound of them even more when driving.

Really not as loud as I thought it would be, wonder if it's the full length pipes or 2" diameter that lowers it? How do you like the quality of the Patriot midlengths? I will probably have to switch to those, I tried using MAC full length but with my AOD there is no way to bend them to fit I'm finding.

I really like the quality of them

And yeah I knew they weren't going to be super loud, but I like them a whole lot better than the thrush mufflers.

I use it on another forum, so I figured it was time for a change.

Washed with dish soap to remove old wax. Then applied Meguiars Ultimate Compound to help remove hard water spots, next was Zaino Z2, then Zaino Z5, and finally Chemical Guys Butter Wax.

Got a new shift **** a month or so ago, its a real pool ball.





Well I will be modding the clutch setup soon. I had the hitch pin that holds the clutch rod to the pedal break off. So I went today and bought a new pin for a temporary fix. I ordered some heim joints and will be making a new rod setup, I will also be modding the rod that disengages the clutch with a heim joint.

Finally after christmas get my exhaust done again, going with 2 1/4" all the way.



I have also started collecting metal signs. This weekend I went out and bought a few.




Going to paint my calipers sometime soon as well, can't stand seeing the rust.
