We are going to run itat the Gingerman event this weekend so we should have a chance to see how it handles. I have one of those Go Pro video cams so we should have some decent video. The people that saw the car on Power Tour pretty much it was a perfect execution of a build. It all just looks like it belongs. I think it is my favorite of the Stielow cars. The power is so linear compared to the Mule. This car is going to see alot of miles...
Yep, it's really quiet at idle and cruise, but when you stand on it, WOT under load, it's pretty loud. It's a really deep sound like it has a huge cubic inch big block... best way I can describe it I guess.

Here's a video of it idling by....

What mufflers are on it?

The reason I ask is I think my magnaflows are blown out. I really noticed it leaving bristol for the 12 hour ride home. My head was numb and hearing impaired for about an hour once I arrived home.
