I choose to quiet down my ride with a Flowtech (holly) Warlock.
Check out this review or listen to it at youtube.

A few quotes from the Holly website about my new muffler.
Mean and Nasty Sound
Supernatural Power
How could you not order this?

Anyway, I ordered it from summit on monday, and it got here today (wednesday) im impressed with the fast and free shipping (not so impressed with the 10 handling fee?)
After cracking the box open I found a horde of goodies. Stickers, Catalogs, A Hat and My new muffler.
Check out my new gear!

Free Hood, Better Then The Old Hood!

I have a little fox body stang that Im tinkering on. Im lucky to work at a large auto dealership and have lots of great contacts with mechanics and other “car” guys. One of our Lexus mechanics drives a fox that is the same color as mine. I needed a hood and he had a spare after upgrading his to a cowl style. So for a 12 pack I not only scored a hood that is the same color but also has the same amount of sun fade, you would never know that it wasn’t the original hood. I needed to replace mine, it was crunched when the PO ran into someone or something. It didn’t look too bad before, but it didn’t sit well and bounced, and had a snarled look to it. So here is the camera phone shot of the new/old hood installed in the parking lot at work.

I will need to get the front mount inter cooler set up in place now. I had cut a hole in the old hood to help the top mount IC breath. This hood still has the insulation in place and I dont think much fresh air finds its way to that IC. I have the classic set up for the 2.3 turbo ford stuff ready to go. Ranger Radiator and Volvo IC… I just need a few dry days and some free time.

Turbo 5.0

Its pretty amazing what a little knowledge can produce. (The shop guys always have the coolest rides) My friend Tyler is putting together the last few parts for this little pony. Turbo Charged 5 liter mustang. This will be blast to drive when its done.
