Hot Rod Lincold is sung by George Thorougood.

Also, Bad to the Bone, and Born to Be Wild are good ones.

I guess I haven't heard the original one, then...

Just did a search.  The original was sung by Commander Cody.

Good call Ghost,

I haven't heard the George Thorougood cover, or the original by Charlie Ryan, but it'd be hard to do any better than the Lost Planet Airmen's version.  Must be a ramped up version by George.

LOL, Kelly that is exactly what I'm installing this weekend (H pipe) 3"  Flowmaster 40's, a 3 mile run straight out of the headers is a bit much,lol. Hey since you are experienced maybe you can visit me for the weekend,lol. I'm just adding one cool addition, a "Y" pipe with elec. cutouts right after the header connection.
