Nitrobasher April 29th, 2006, 04:19 PM YES I AM!
Everyone loves the sound of the stock exhaust right? but who thinks its not "loud enough" or "It doesnt show the v8"
well, bieng a 16 year old kid all I want and need to be is loud!
So im browsing www.summitracing.com when i come across 2 1/4"glass packs for no more then 21.99 As im starring at the screen mouth gaping open I think to myself is it worth spending 50 dollars to get exhaust that might sound like complete crap?
After three hours of debating The order went threw. No more then 3 days later i get a package with my expierements in em.
Notice!!! These mufflers only come in 2.25" or higher so adapters are needed but do not cost more then 2 dollars at Autozone.
After sawzawing my exhaust off and clamping the adapters from 2.25"-1/78" we were ready to go,
NOTE** I only clamped my exhaust for the time bieng... welding will come with the full system..
I start it up and to my amazement it purred comparable to a mustang with aftermarket borla's. I couldnt get enough of em. All of my buddies love em and agree that they sound BAD!
so ladies and gentalmen lets do the math...
Flowmaster... Borla... Hooker... cost atleast 120 dollars for EACH muffler. I spent 50 dollars and 2 hours of my time and got both mufflers on there and sounds just as good if not better then the top of the line brand...

The only reason i decided to go with these is i needed a cheap mod for my car before FCA which is coming up May 18th for anyone intersted here in STL.
Good:
purrs
loud but just right not to loud
looks good under the bumper
Bad:
comes in 2.25in only but is an easy fix
tips are recomended but not nessesary...
now on to the pics (also i had the priveladge to use a buddies lift but they are not required, just a simple jack and some stands will work as well

mespock April 29th, 2006, 11:15 PM First he's 16 and Anti-Rice - He could be putting a big spoiler on the back and going to AutoGroan to get stickers...
Not bad for a HS student.
I don't know if I would go with the glasspacks but to each their own.
Just remember just because it's loud doesn't make it fast.
Chaoticbastard April 29th, 2006, 11:23 PM Hmmmm.Having a 97 LSC when your 16 is like If I had a 85 Grand National when I was 16.(78 granada instead)lol good for you and it looks good.But definatly get those tips put on as soon as you can

truckerlincoln April 30th, 2006, 02:48 PM Cheap way to make some noise, but i like the idea of a 16 year old kid with some good old american muscle! You don't see that very often any more. You got what alot of kids dream about, don't mess that mark viii up!

So how am I doing for a HS student? This summer the gear, converter and chip are going in.
Iwantmymarkback April 30th, 2006, 07:01 PM I'm 17. I'm on my second Lincoln :D . And I have a 1949 Ford in my garage.

MarkVIII93 April 30th, 2006, 07:08 PM Woot! Lets her it for all of us young fellas repping teenage american muscle.
Nitrobasher April 30th, 2006, 07:19 PM what comes next???? I want more power out of the engine. but im not sure what to waste my money on this time.
Btw, heres a question mayb one of you can ask..
My friend bought a Superchip (actual namebrand)for his Ford Ranger. He then Converted it to work with his lighting, but soon found a better chip for it.
So he is saying that if i can find a person to reprogram the chip for my car hell give it to me... what do ya guys think? who can do it?
Frogman April 30th, 2006, 07:50 PM Metal zip ties to hold the mufflers into place? Talk about a cheaply done job. I understand you're only 16 and all, but come on! any exhaust shop will charge you less than 20 bux to weld some connectors there.
Nitrobasher April 30th, 2006, 07:52 PM it was just for the time bieng.... so i wouldnt melt my bumper/ styrophome. get off my back
Frogman April 30th, 2006, 08:01 PM kids....
Chaoticbastard April 30th, 2006, 08:31 PM for all of you guys out theree that think momy and dady bought my car... NO.
i saved up since i was seven because i had that much love for cars way back then.
Calm down.I wasnt saying that.I was simply saying it was impressive.
Nitrobasher April 30th, 2006, 09:09 PM im not getting offensive... im just saying, its not usual for kids to save up for cars... and you know what really gets on my nerves... there are kids running around my school driving 330's and land rovers.
o and frogman... your pretty cool talking trash over the internet huh?
94m5 April 30th, 2006, 10:40 PM Keep it civil guys.......
I was a teenager once, and know what it's like to have people looking at you like your driving mommy and daddy's car. It sucks.
I drove a LOW mileage 95' Supercharged Buick Riveira as my 1st car. Worked everyday after school, and 12 hours a day on the weekends to afford it.
