RE: Hello, new owner got a few questions...
Doug must be a busy busy man lately. It took him a while to answer my email after i made a purchase with him but i thought i got my order in a fair amount of time. i think maybe he's trying to still do everything himself and is overloaded with orders and emails. i would give him a little more time before you think about cancelling your order. try to find his number and give him a call before anything. also, check on his website and log in to your account to see the status of your order. if its listed as being processed, you should be good and will only have to wait. take it from me, the wait will be worth it!

If you want a GT take-off you would be much better off to get the set for $79. Put one of them on and store the other. Mufflers do go bad especially if you are going to be driving in the rain. And down the road when it starts to go you will have another one in storage ready to go. Look at it this way, do you stop for gas and put in $5 instead of filling up knowing you will need it down the road?

FYI - When you buy two take-off mufflers, each one is specific for that side of the car. The driver's side muffler will NOT fit on the passenger side.

probably a brain fart..... if you're gonna buy a set, might as well make it dual. if you're gonna buy two for the same side, maybe paint one black and the other silver/gray and add a chrome tip to them both. although they sound good and make nice results, they are not very attractive looking in stock form.

RE: Hello, new owner got a few questions...
Well I got my C&L cai and XCAL2 from Doug today! Simple bolt on, and loaded up the 87 perf tune. Took it for a spin. There is a definite difference in throttle response. I didn't notice much down low, but after it wound up and got high in the revs, it reminded me of a two stroke bike hitting the power band. I haven't loaded the 93 torq or 93 perf tunes, as I haven't put 93 in it yet. It took a while to get it, and Doug did finally get back to me on email. Must be one busy guy. I took the flowmaster off right after the long road trip, got the stocker on there right now. I may pull the trigger on a FRPP, or a GT axle back, don't know yet.... All that's left is to installthe pony grille, and I'll be set for a while on the mods.
