Wow, is that a silver Final Edition in that garage?!?! Nice!!!

Since we are on the subject of sounds, here's a vid of a red V8 with Magnaflow (I think) and stock cats and the silver V8 has straight exhaust

Gmendoza,

Yes sir, that is a very nice 401rwhp silver final edition in the garage...are you jealous?

BTW...for the video clip, the red V8 had just straight cat back exhaust and stock cats.

Thumbs up
No one has mentioned an extra benefit of the center-exit exhausts:


The license plate will blacken over time instead of the taillights...

Wow. That's awesome. The owner must be a cool guy.

... and you are right. Come to think of it, the red V8 had stock cats and no muffler

I was about to contact Muffler Tech, and it seems that their website has been suspended... Hate to be a pest, but can you pass along their phone number?
Thanks in advance!

Not from what I see...

Muffler Tech Sacramento

(916) 421-0399

The Florin Rd. location is where they do all the high end stuff like Lotus (Ha!), Lambos, Aston, Ferrari, etc. That is the number above.

Ask for Kolby. He is the owner. If you want my setup, tell him that you want the same setup Bill got last week. He'll know. Otherwise there are other options he can discuss with you....

Enjoy!

Speaking of center-exit exhausts,

Does anyone know who makes these 4-cylinder Esprit pipes for Harry Applebee AKA Viking Motorsports?

Exhaust valence installed tonight. Everything lined up as it should. I even like how you can see the shiny exhausts through the grate.

Thanks to Alan for his help....

Better pics in the morning. Wait till you see the pics in a week or so....got about $4k to go.....

Heehee, you forgot to remove the "price tag" on the left side.

So now you can name your car the "Minnie Pearl"

I remember her from Hee Haw....

Yeah, I was just too tired. There is some tape residue on there too that I will have to remove.

Or 200% increase in cost. However, from my days of Ferrari ownership, that is a bargain. A Ferrari "Cavallino" on the same part would be good for a 400% mark-up.

Just took the car to the custom bodyshop tonight. They are doing something pretty special with the car. Won't be a cheap bill......

Pics to follow..... Probably in a few days. Maybe next week Monday.

PS Why haven't I seen your car yet!??!
