"Better" is an ambiguous term based on opinion. "Louder" might be a bit more appropriate descriptive word since it can be mathematically measured :hick: . My car has 4 cats, all the smog stuff, etc. 100% the way it would come out of the factory. If Ford would've had an HO in the Tbird, I'm sure it'd be like mine. And yeah, I've already had people lookin over at the car with a "Wtf..." look. It's priceless.

Yeah, I didnt clock my 0-60 time, but when I hit 60 in the video, it's right at 7 seconds. It's a shame I couldnt manual shift it for a bit better punch.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. It is really nice to see what I've had envisioned for so long finally coming to life.

Gotta give a big thanks to my dad, who has done as much if not more work into all of this as I have and has definitely been my biggest inspiration. My Uncle too; he helped a ton with the HO conversion, he recommended the lers, and has been another source of inspiration. And the guys at the ler shop for doing a great job on my exhaust; the final piece of my first envisioned "stage" of this car. I sure as hell cant take all the credit myself haha.

Looks like a very solid exhaust system that should definitely last you until you're ready to upgrade and overhaul. It's quiet for my taste (though I'm not an open headers kinda guy either). If thats the sound you like, then great. I drove my car for 3 weeks on headers, H-pipe and flowtubes, so I can appreciate being able to drive without ears riniging. I recently got tailpipes for my car and I'll be glad to be able to let it sit & idle without rattling all my change in the ashtray, heh.

well if you want to you can hold 1st longer than normal and that helps. :hick:

seriously i havent done it with a 0-60 test but i know full throttle it shifts to 2nd way too soon! if i hold it in 1st and keep on it when it gets up to like 4000 rpm you REALLY feel the High Output.:D and i dont know for sure but it seems like 1st might take you all the way to like 45 or 50 mph. i know i tested it on a main road right near my house thats got a 40 mph speed limit. i was having a great time flying up in 1st and suddenly i look down, like 45 mph, and counting, shiznit!!!! so i had to back off and go to D. but it still had some left. so im sure taking care of lke 80% of 60 mph all in 1st has to help some! ive gotta try it out sometime with the G-Tech.

@ifix - Yeah, it could be louder, but the more I think about it, I like being able to not have to blast my music or yell at the person next to me. But on the other hand, it's more than audible at all times. And it's loud enough to get heads turning as I drive by. I find it to be a good mix, especially since it still has quite some time to serve as my DD.

@Zonda - You know you can shift into 2nd and hold it there too? Go into first, get in the gas. When you're ready to go into 2nd, shift into drive then shift back into 1st, and thats how you hit 2nd. It's a trick my dad showed me and it works (cougrrr302 also tried this on his car with the column shift and it works). Then when you're ready for 3rd, just go into Drive.

It's amazing how much more attention my car gets now that people clearly hear it coming down the road. I just had a guy in an Acura 3.2 CL pick a fight with me. I was just minding my own business when we revved at me and whizzed by. I get a few turned heads and stuff too. None of that EVER happened before. Amazing what can happen overnight.

Just wait till you have REAL power. 225 horsepower aint dick

Oh trust me, I know what major hp is like. Driving dad's 400hp Chevelle is pretty humbling. But for an 18 year old, having a car like that will get me in big trouble. I turn down most races because I probably cant beat most of the cars out there. 225hp, 0-60 in 7 seconds is probably more than a guy like me should have anyway. I enjoy the living out of my car. I couldnt ask for a better car for around $2500 total. Clean, quick, solid gas mileage, etc etc. Just wait till the "big overhaul" in a few years. I'm feelin a 350-400hp 331 in my future. :D But by then it wont be my DD and I'll be older so it wont be too bad.

Just outta curiosity, how much hp does your car have? 0-60 time? It looks badass in your sig too :D . Those painted Ponies have really grown on me.

THIS IS HOW YOU REV IT, and im ashamed to show it, cause you can watch the gas piddling out near the front tire. i only started it cause i just finished changing the oil, it dies out so much once you let out the gas and it sucks air in! AERO I NEED THOSE LINES!!!!
