Steve are you alright? I heard they evacuated 500 homes in your area due to a brush fire.

Steve your exhaust looks like my exhaust. SS with x pipe and Magnaflow mufflers. The day I had the exhaust installed I was kind of disapointed with the mufflers because it was to quiet. Mine took about 100 miles to break in, and I am now very happy with the sound level. Quite a bit louder than the first time I fired her up with the new stuff.

I would expect about $400 labor plus materials, maybe less. I would save a ton of cash and go with aluminized steel over stainless and just have the system thermal coated. Most stainless is quite a bit thinner and thus louder and it costs a freakin fortune. It's WARNER'S PERFORMANCE, In Oceanside, CA, ask for Jim.

We're in Hawaii on vacation. The house is ok, we are on the other side of the 91 freeway. :woot:

Thanks for the info, good point on the SS thickness, I have a local guy that wants $1200 for a complete SS system, not sure if that was high or not, i will check with hi and Warners about a coated steel system.

Thanks

How's this for a great bunch of guys.

I'm on vacation in Hawaii and while it's great it's killing my ETA for getting the car done by the Good Guys Del Mar show. So Mark from Lateral-Dynamics and Dick from Best of Show spend all day today working on my car (trying to wittle down the list of "things to do").

As a bonus they even installed my new Wilwood rear brakes. These guys rock! Now I can spend next Saturday doing other things on the list. Thanks guys!

Dear Mark / Dick,

I am also on holiday and my 'maro needs finishing too. It's in my gagrage in Carlsbad - I left the key under the mat for you. If you could just finish it up for me before I get home, that would be great. I need a few more parts than Steve and there's probably a few hours worth of buffing to be done but I know you guys will do a bang-up job!

(does hiding in the back yard count as a holiday?)

:P

I hate it when some guy's post pics of cars like these!!!!!!

Here that thing would sell for 4-5K easily!!!!!!!!!!!! (serious!)

Oh well.....


Steve, i've meant to ask, are the center caps on your wheel Forgeline pieces or if you got them custom made. I dig the C-Fiber in 'em and since i have a few ideas in my own ride including some... I looked up the Forgeline to find some info on them for mine site but to no avail. (Maybe thats why it took so long for you to get them back?!;) )

Thanks,

Lead.
