Exclamation

I took the car out to my favorite muffler shop, lol, it was a 15 mile trek down the shore.



I tryed to be nice to others but i couldn't . I drove 15 miles with just a down pipe and took a small video so you can hear and feel what it sounds like. The whole car vibrates so hard till around 4k. after that is so sweet, ala ferrari race car



My girlfriend followed me all the way and she could hear me 1 mile away. lol



I got to a part where the traffic was moving at 5mph. I put the car in third or fouth, trying to keep the noise down and making the car move at 600 rpms at the engine.



It most of been some official's funeral on the opposite side of the road cause i most of past 20 cops cars from different municipalities. I was like, oh ****, i'm goign to get it.



I didn't it. I guess they had something to do. There happen to be 2 cops in the middle of the road directing traffic while the funeral was goign by, again, oh ****, now i'm going to get it.

Going at 5mph on 4th, lol. my car just purred so hard and you can feel the ground vibrate, lol. I past the cops, as my girlfriend pass them she heard them say, "the car purrs like a kitten"

I was lucky not to get pulled over. I most of scared a few passing car specially on red lights from a stop.



Got to the muffler shop ok.



Here is a quick 15sec video of that it feels like in a moster, no boost, just full n/a style. The video is almost 6megs long. :bigok:

The video in the car doesn't really show how loud it was. I wish I had someone video taping me as I go by for a mile or so, lol.



The first few 1k to 3krpms is so loud, is like having a large vibrating lazyboy. The images in the rear view mirror were hard to see, they were just a blurr from the vibration.

Pretty soon the objects in the rear view will be specks in the distance, so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

Even driving in N/A form since a turbo hose poped out, the car was quick.
