I like it ponchjoe! I will encourage him to register here and join the board! We found out yesterday that the carrier is running a bit behind, so it won't get picked up until Monday, which means it won't get here until late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

She arrived this morning. My son can't stop grinning!

Sorry Chris, no burnout straight off the trailer. Trying to set a good example for my son. We will be going through her with a fine tooth comb and doing some detail work this weekend.

First Mod will be a proper exhaust system!

Thanks! He does plan to register.

A previous owner went straight, welded S/S pipes from the cats to the tips so it sounds like something out of Dukes of Hazard right now. He wants to do a set of Kooks ceramic coated long tubes, high flow cats, and then an X or H pipe and either some Flowmasters, Corsa or Borla with stock tips. He may have to save a little before he can go the full Monty, but in the interim, we may just have an X or H pipe and some Flowmasters installed to tone it down and eliminate all the popping and backfiring when you let off throttle.

Jerry, I actually forwarded the flyer on that to Miles this afternoon to see if he wanted to go, but he has to work that weekend and, no, he told me I couldn't swap cars with him that weekend!

He's already put a hundred miles on it this afternoon showing it to his buddies.

I'm biased here but the Pypes H-box and Axle Backs sound goooood.
Won't break the bank either.

Oh man, some Corsa mufflers behind a set of long tubes would sound flat out amazing! Borlas aren't a bad choice either.

Flowmasters sound good, but they flow like caca.

I just checked out the video on their website and would have to agree!
