looks like ur making good progress. can't tell **** about the system since the bass drowns everything else out. and after a few yrs of it people will notice a change in ur hearing. i have in my oldest son by how much louder he talks just to hear himself. take a hearing test and keep the results. then after a few yrs go back and retest, then compare the two and see if there isn't a 20-30% reduction in ur ability to hear low frequencies.

i know what you mean ive had a few other systems before, one was 2 12" DVC power acoustik **** subs which where rated at 2k watts each, in my custom made slotted box tuned at 43 Hz. i had the subs at 2 ohms each on 2 1800watt pyle driver mono amps pushing about 1250 RMS watts into each sub. and this was all in a geo tracker lol it was rediculous trust me. so im sure my hearing has already suffered a substantial loss plus all the concerts i go to lol


did u notice in the vid the exhaust gets to a certain freq and the camera sound cuts off lol, that camera sucks but that exhaust does get really loud specially with those secondaries opened up

I`ve been thinking about buying the same autopwr rad, but I had never seen one installed. Yours looks pretty good, did you have any problems with the install? Does the quality seem to be pretty good? It looks to be the same size as the 79-82 short rad, were you able to mount your stock oil cooler under it?

Sorry for the million questions, I just wanted more info on it before I went ahead and ordered it.

Well your rad looked really good in your car, so I went ahead and ordered one today, since I really need to replace mine anyway. I guess I'll see how easy the install is when I get it and drop it in the car.

the radiator is excellent quality, but its a full length radiator for the model without a fmic, mine had the beehive cooler so its what i needed but you could remount your cooler in front of the rad. everything on the rad bolted right up except one thing, the top water level sensor, the threaded holes was a little too big for the sensor but what i did was put some JB weld on the threads and screwed it in and it works great no leaks, also since the radiator is about an inch and a half fatter than the stock one i just cut a inch and a half of each radiator hose and no problems.

but most definantly worth 200$ beuatiful quality and a great company too
