Default Sound Clip...Purring like a lion

I finally got everything done on my car: Injen intake, PPE headers, PPE (Magnaflow) high flow cats, Magnaflow muffler.

Major props go out to Jon at Street Solutions in PA for helping out with the header and cat installation. He's a real stand up guy, I highly recommend his shop.

I also highly recommend PPE Engineering (CL vendor), Paul is great to work with and did an awesome job with these headers and cats. Let Paul know I sent you, he'll hook you up!

Also, Nelson at Mighty Muffler for installing and designing the exhaust. He knows his stuff.

I feel like I won an emmy, thanking everyone haha I'll upload pictures and maybe other sound clips so everyone can hear what it sounds like inside the car and driving by. But for now, here's a video sound clip:

Bacardi, everything on it is custom. Contact Paul at PPE Engineering for the cats; as far as the magnaflow muffler, you can get a custom exhaust shop to help you out. Make sure they do mandrel bends in the pipe. The place I went to is outside of south philly. I'm not sure how far away in NJ you are from there.

It tones down quite a bit when I'm driving at a constant speed. I'll take a few more videos when the weather is nicer (probably Sunday). It's not like my friend's Camaro exhaust, which is too loud for me, you have to yell to hear eachother.

Years ago I had a 1969 Corvette 454 that was like that. It felt and sounded as if you were sitting in a monster machine about to explode at any moment... I loved it.
