Steve, two big claps and a Rick Flair for the ink![img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img][img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] All you cars are works of art, because your passion for detail is incredible. I get jealous of your skills at putting things back together, since my skillset ends after taking things apart. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
We've been fortunate enough to watch your kids grow up working in your garage, thanks so much for sharing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Thank you! I sent out a PDF of the article to all my relatives today: Mom and Dad, brothers, sister, cousins, in-laws, etc. They got quite a vicarious thrill out it.

Thay all want to send me their daily drivers to fix now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Took Gramma's car out yesterday to fill it with gas. Since my daughter needed gas in her car too, I filled both tanks up with the regular, lowest 87 octane stuff. The car did not complain one bit. Not a ping to be heard with the 9-1/2 to 1 compression! Hurray for cheap gas! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I just noticed that Pypes posted the step by step installation video for the exhaust system they installed on Gramma's car.

Yeah, it kinda reminded me of the voice over on the original &quot;health education&quot; movies we were forced to watch in elementary school. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I need to update the system on my 74 z. I bought a stainless system with transverse muffler and I hate to say it, but its too quiet.
I cant remember the vendor, but I took the car out this weekend and was not impressed with the sound. Almost as drab as the voice over guy. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

I really like this system. It sounds downright evil at full throttle.

BTW, I just noticed that they also posted the installation video for the ram air manifolds:
