this sucks

when's the board going to be back up?

tgo is boooooring, I mean I've been entertaining myself by either wasting a hell of alot of gas, or making fun of v6ers on tgo, and both probably aren't good. although I got bored yesterday and cut off my muffler. it just wasn't loud enough. I strapped on a big long cherry bomb right where the muffler was cuz I had one laying around, and it's kinda loud, but in all truth is was quieter without the cherry bomb. I think either my cam is just really weak, or my cat is clogged, cuz my car isn't even loud with no muffler, and makes a wooshing sound. that and I have some nice rusty pipes that kinda developed holes when I tried to twist off my muffler, I think it's gonna be time for a cat-back soon. lol. I want my car to sound mean, not like a loud floor fan. dangit. mabee I just need a whole new powertrain and exhaust? I'm thinking tbi 350 with a lt1 cam, and headers and custom chip. I think that could be fun, but I think I will need a new tranny. don't think this one would hold up to a 350 especially not the way I drive. I know I must have more power one way or another!

Any word on those mirrors? I haven't heard from you in a while, and you haven't answered any of my PM's on the Crew board.

oh shoot, I had completely forgotten. I'm sorry. I had to sell the car as a whole to pay back some bills. the dude offered me cash, and I just couldn't refuse. sorry.

Yeah, your cat is probably clogged, then again, they are so restrictive from the factory, our cars don't really need mufflers. I pulled the cat off my '83 Z28 (LG4) and it was loud as f*ck! As far as a mean sounding exhaust, I had a Flow Master (can't remember which series) and high flow cat on my '85 Z28 (LB9) and it had the G0D tone!!!

BTW, I did a search for 'cherry bomb' on the exhaust board a few months ago 'cause I was thinking about getting one (Only $20 at Schucks!). Everyone on there said it is very restrictive even though it is a flow-through design.

well it seems to give me a bit more topend, but I did loose some low end I've noticed. I think that muffler I had was much more restrictive.

I vote for Flowmaster 40 series cat back.. thats what I have on my car and it sounds goooooooood! And, if you dont need to have a cat, pop that damn thing off, have a pipe made and buy a flowtech cutout... it was good for 14 ft lbs on the dyno in my T/A.
