    New Exhaust

    Just getting new 2 1/2 inch, Stainless, Mandrell Bent, trying for a few more HP
    It will be on the dyno tomorrow to check against what it was yesterday.
    This car had the ralley wheels on it but they were 14 inch, if they had been 15 I would have kept them. But, my friend had these real American wheels he didn't like and I got them for this.
    I have thought about building a set of 15x8 wheels for the back but I like the look of these old wheels. I think 8 inch wheels would work better on the back but the Americans all have the same back space and stick too far out the front.

    Thanks,

    Dean

    ride

    Thank You,

    Thank You,

    Bruce and Shirl, not money well spent, it was done for testing and mocking, dyno and all, look on their web site for the shorts,

    The tires don't seem to last as long with the 455, and I must have too much air in them
    one of the shorts on the MAGNAFLOW.COM web site is a launch,

    I am really happy with the way this thing runs, my wife doesn't like it's looks, she likes the turbo better, I like the speed, I am sure it is faster that the Corvette

    You have a really nice car, everytime I put more money in my car I would look around and see what those things cost, realize how much I spent and it would never be a GS or convert. after a while I stopped caring and realized I would have to keep it forever.
