    I'll take another video of the exhaust. The Magnaflows sound completely different and bad ass!

    Ray - how long did the install take from ripping out the old to putting in the new?

    Damn near all day Steve. LOL
    We started around 10:30, stopped for lunch, had customers come in want their rusted exhaust systems looked at etc..
    I drove home at 5:15.
    We were never on the car for more than 1 hour straight, except for the dip stick tube. Two of the guys who were helping out had a bright idea that didn't work out. So we had to back track some too.

    Wrong button stupid. This is what happens when you push the wrong button.

    G8 American Racing headers, with Magnaflow axle back mufflers. Idle

    Running rich after all that idling. Video's taken with cold motor. Rev

    What kinda magnaflows you got on there? I've got StolenFox's AxleBacks which use some kinda of magna's as well and would love to use'm but almost everyone seems to think that unless you use the stock mufflers it's too loud?

    Have you done a comparison with the stock axlebacks?

    but sounds bad-ass! I WANT SOME ARHs!!!! lol

    That sounds pretty good Ray. I was hoping that my Kooks mufflers would be ready by the time I went out to New Era, but it doesn't look like it. Maryland Speed is gonna see if they can get a set bumped up, but it's doubtful.
