Well, it finally fell off.I was just driving home from school and all of a sudden I got this loud rumble instead of the quiet rumble.I get home, thats falling off. So I just ripped it out so that it doesnt get ripped off in the road.

The video is kinda worthless cause 1) its dark and 2) the mic couldnt handle it.

I had my intermediate pipe fall off back in the summer leaving the movies. Had to back up into the parking lot and coat hanger the pipe to the torque arm and drive it home.

Need to relabel that "Sensor" as "A.I.R. Tube".

Perfect excuse to get a "real" exhaust now.

Open manifold is the shi*, I love the way it sounds, my girlfriend doens't seem to like it to much though, I ran it for a few days while I was in the process of getting a new cat for it, and it sounds great. Can't wait to get that cut off so I can switch to legal exhaust or Open Manifolds :lala:

It doesnt sound the same way our 396 or 454 does. Its like a gritty sound whereas the bigblocks are an orchestra

When I did https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=270004 , I couldn't resist firing it up before hooking the the y-pipe back up to the collectors. I was a little surprised at the way it sounded, but I wouldn't claim it was up to NASCAR GN standards. It did, however, sound quite a bit different from the open LT's I've had on 350's and the 396.

Of course, my 305 would beat your 305... :lala:
