    Silly, silly, question here but... Aren't you guys with the painted undersides scared of all that beautiful paint getting blasted by the dirt/stones from the road?

    I'm noticing the odd chip here and there in my lower rear quarters and wonder if there wasn't some other prep or coating of some sort to make the paint in debris high impact areas stand up better. I guess driving on un-paved country roads will blast chips one way or the other :dunno:

    I'm wondering the same thing. Something like a clear plastic stick on something. I've got something like that on the hood of my Tundra.

    Here are the Magnaflow mufflers.

    Today I was able to get her to idle better.
    Still need some trial and error on jetting/metering rod changes to get it max'd power.

    Was a great day today.

    My first drive in my Cuda with a shaker sitting correct and looking nice.
    Damn she was running good today!
     
    I could really tell how much difference it makes from the amount of onlookers vs. before without it.

    I'll do some pictures of it once she's shined up and in a more scenic setting within the next couple of weeks.
