Wow Dave, are you feeling ok?
Your going to need to drive that thing with ear plugs in.
Did you buy a racing suit with the cooling option. I think it's going to get hot in there.

From one guy who has just one exhaust tip exiting behind my ear to another, "what did you say, I didn't catch that, huh" get used to it. You notice on my new build, the exhaust goes out the back, and yours has bullet mufflers. Hearing isn't near as important as people think.

Do love the direction the car is going, and the work Fab53 is doing looks phenomenal. Can't wait to see how that SB2 works out.

Man a lot of those drivers are skinny little suckers. This seat was made for Brett's 14 year old son.... at 120 lbs. :disgusted:

So I will probably resell it and either get a custom fit one or a Kirkey for street/autocross and then a stronger one for road course. Gotta do some more thinking on that....

I feel great. What?

We have some ideas to keep heat and sound down. It will have a second custom muffler option for those "quiet" tracks like Thunderhill and Sonoma. Laguna Seca need not apply.




Drive in reverse? :underchair:

Seriously though, when/where is the last place around here that moved the sound check to the drivers side that you know of? (serious question)



Bullet mufflers are an upgrade for me. My boom tube before had no muffler (those chambers in there don't really count IMO) exiting in the same area. It wasn't 3.5" duals and it wasn't an SB2 but still. It was loud yeah but at RTTC and some street cruising I thought it was acceptable. :headspin:

Brett is really killing it there and I think the project is quite mutually enjoyable for us.

Oh, right. Thunderhill is, what, 103 db?
