Yeah, I got a few comments on it. Most like it, the one negative I got from it was that it looks like a *****. But of course he was joking It did look awkward at first, but it grew on me.

Im going to take a vid of my 3" exhaust on my 13B four port, that vid just made me have to show u what mine sounds like. If anyones ever seen the movie the highwayman it sounds alot like the orange cuda he drives. The thing sets off car alarms, I love how the cops down here dont give a crap, because mine is not road legal at all. Sounds like a race car. Sets off car alarms. Scares, and occasionally kills small children. I luv it.


P.S. i didnt fit exhaust, it came with car, i wudnt have gone so big myself, but now i have an excuse

That borla sounds really nice

While Stu's away, the devil came out in me . I had a little conversation with Stu about how well his car was running since we fixed most everything. He complained that the car just didn't have any ***** off the line. I rode with him, and I think it's mostly due to his driving habits. Short shifting, and taking off at too low a RPM. So he dropped the car off at the house a couple of days ago. So I decided to see if it could match the blackmark left in my street by my friends 69 big block GTO. All I have to say is WOW. I was instantly surprised by the massive burnout I left in Stu's car. I hope you don't get mad at me, but I just couldn't help myself . The one on the right is from the goat, the one in the middle is from Stu's car (first and second gear!), and the one on the left is from my SA track car.

Sounds great and looks like it's running nice too. In fact, it sounds (and looks) just like my silver 85 GSL that has the borla muffler and oversized tubes.

Remember this one?:



Stu, it's the one that was barely running when you visited, since then I fixed the coolant leak and throttle cable and now it purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion. Tons of exhaust pressure just like in your (Sam's) video. I'll have to make a movie, you'd have a hard time telling them apart.

And yeah Stu, I thought you were going to put in that LSD you bought from me earlier this summer!?

I'll speak for Stu at the moment. He is still going to swap in the GSL rear end. He had dropped the car off at my house when he picked up his Protege. I felt like the car had potential when I started working on it a couple of weeks ago. Now I think I'll have the "be a safe and responsible driver" conversation with him when he gets back. Sorry buddy, I had to do it .

Haha, I missed a lot of replies here!

Yeah, Ray I am installing that LSD when I get the shaft off of ya

Bad83... I wish I was there to see it, and odds are I could have done it better And I hope the car changed your mind somewhat on your views on 2barrels. I remember you being slightly *cough* against them before haha. And yes, I was safe and responsible... a good little boy. Minus one incident. Leaving my boss' apartment he give me this look and with his index fingers makes a circle a few time. Hell yeah, I got permission to burn out. Well, I rev her to about 5.5k and dump it, only to bog it (I have a slight hiccup when I nail the gas) down. That made me look bad... But I immediately revved her back up and held it. BWAM screeching tires all through first and grabbed second and got a little sideways before letting off.

Hell of a car. And hell of a tuner to help me with it.

That was a neat idea! I take it you have a small camcorder? I thought you were asking for loosing that thing talking about mounting it to the tow hook. Cool beans man!

There is another place I can mount it, beside the muffler and looking backwards. I thought if I did that people might get motion sickness lol.
