It's a racing beat system for around $350 or so. I can't remember the exact price though.

Hrm, I have one in the garage that I need to weld a flange on. Which year is that one made for? (If it is 84-85, how far away is the flange from the base of the thick part?)

The tooth fairy brought me **** once. At the time I thought it was a cool gift, but damn, I think I lost out.

Where did you find your Tooth Fairy? Mine was just a hooker off the streets I think.

Why didn't you drive over to VB, they have gaskets in stock for city pickup? The header gasket is $15, unlike some of the others that charge $25 for the same one mail order, plus shipping.

Can you take another picture of that header turned 90 degrees? I think I can figure it out based off that if you don't mind.

MattG how do you like the sound of the dual exhaust over stock?

My car is painfully stock and it needs a change. Maybe the tooth fairy will come visit me

Must be somebody new behind the counter. A stock gasket works fine. As far as the other gaskets, any muffler shop should carry them. Just make sure they have the metal cover on both sides. The others burn out quickly.

Did you get the phone message I left last week?

I love it!!!!!!

Its got a nice deep sound to it. The best part IMO is that when im at idle or just driving its not loud, but when I get on it, Oh yeah pure pleasure! Its what dreams are made of!

BTW: I have the Full RB streetport setup, the center section just isnt pictured.
