I'm going to do the Amp gauge bypass tomorrow, and start it for the first time since mid-November.   :swaying:

Saturday I replaced the old 2.25" exhaust with stock mufflers with a new TTI H Pipe System and Dynomax Ultra Flo Mufflers.
I ordered the complete system from Manifold with welded tips. The system came with everything and really fits well. All mandrel bends.
I added weld-in Bungs close to the flange on both side to allow for future O2 sensor for tuning if needed.
Rather than lay on the ground I took it in to a friends shop and got the "Midas Touch"...

Here are before and after videos if you'd like to hear the difference. I really love the sound now.
Before video 4/22/14

Can I get a bigger fuel tank now?

I pulled the engine to make some changes. I should have decided this 2 months ago but it was a rough winter. I am guessing it will be down for a month depending on machinist schedule.  It's supposed to be in the 30's for the next few days so winter is still around.  :crying:

I've been working at perking up the outside a little. I'm not sure if I like the red hood scoop inserts. Your thoughts please.

I like what you have done, i would leave the red in the inserts, they do suit it. Only thing i would do if it was mine personally, is to put organosil textured Black on the rest of the tail panel between the tail lights and around the tail lights also, this would help the contrast of the textured silver in the tail lights really pop agains a similar textured paint but in Black.
