"I need a new muffler NOW, TODAY, THIS MINUTE.

(Mechanic will not allow me to drive it home with my blowed up factory one.. friggen baffle!)

Triad? Single or dual? How long does it take to get it shipped?

Anyone have a better suggestion, speak now, time is of the essence, I need to be rolling around.."
*****************************************************




Tell your mechanic to chill out!

Maybe there's more to this story than I know, but I can't understand why he would tell you to replace an exhaust system BEFORE you simply drove it home (unless it's like many, many, many miles away).

Maybe he means like you really NEED to do something about your exhaust very soon.

As far as mufflers goes, here's my preference:

1st Choice: Good original stock. From what I hear $$$$$$$ I should have bought one.

I had a bursch. Very VW sounding. Rust Never Sleeps. Get's loud quick with high frequencies (in a few months). But for the bucks a good buy. Lot of guys say it's the way to go. Way better than Monza (so I hear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif), and is a good buy.

TRIAD. DEEP THROATY SOUND! Excellent build quality. Excellent materials. SOUNDS BAD ASS! compared to Bursch, Monza, etc. And Dave is way cool and LOVES what he is doing!

All but the first choice will probably lower your low-end torque somewhat.

I gotta get back on these musr images.....

It's a stock exhaust with a busted baffle, sounds like 4 extra sets of valves, and we are busy breakin' the engine in.

I have been without it long enough to go without it another few freakin' days.

No comments about the clakety valves, they're getting adjusted Friday.
Car was somewhat warm, so no comments.

First off, I am concerned about some kind of low thumpy noise, coming from what sounds like your crank case, and I think I hear a closed intake valve on #2.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .... but that's just me.

Thanks man! The muffler rocks, I am sold.

(now if I could just get Dave on the phone)

What did you record with?

Tell me about that motor.

It doesn't have so much of the 'boot slipping off a foot peg' ping that most of these things do.

Way to go Sean, that was cool to do that. Miles, you might try Triad on saturday, cause Dave works a 40 hour work week and does a lot of stuff on the weekends.

Yeah, both aim out.

I am going to start my metal career by beating a perfect mirror of the dent for the extra tip in my valance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) or I'll smash it all to bits, and look like one of those California freaks.

The left side fits in the stock notch perfectly?

I need Bilsteins next week, springs, suspension bushings, and a stock swaybar rig.

I like getting stuff! I wish I could do this every day, all day, forever, and ever... amen.
