    Which is exactly why he's still single, hahahahaahaaa

    You know what's funny bro? As soon as I got my maggie the first thing I thought of was putting Flowmasters on but no one around had any ideas about a set up. Even just mufflers! Everyone said to get a full cat back kit and I didn't see anything out there from Flowmaster so I got the Mopar one. I have a full Flowmaster cat back Force 2 kit on my Saleen (as well as high flow cats) and absolutely LOVE the sound so I was a little bummed not getting one for the maggie. You were the first one I noticed with Flows and I always wanted to ask about it but just didn't, probably cause I'd get too jealous. Thanks!!! :chair:

    Anyway, I love the Mopar kit now so there's no going back, try as you might, sound clip and all, I'm hooked on the Mopar one! :rock:

    I drive mine every chance I get, I figure not to do so would constitute abuse. Guess I get it from my mom, who said if you don't ride the horse every day, you may as well not have it. Charger = warhorse, :happy:

    <mod hat>
    And uh, last I checked it was okay to post a poll for SRT8 LXes in the SRT8 LX forum without having to worry about SRT4s getting butt hurt. If you like the poll idea so much and want it to be inclusive, start one of your own in the Lounge or where appropriate. I don't want any more inter-SRT fighting than absolutely necessary. And just because members of the EQ do it doesn't mean all SRT-8 members condone or think like that.
    </mod hat>

    So get along dammit!

    Um, Stevo is still just on love with mustangs and flowmasters were and probably still are popular with them...so as homage to his old mustang, he decided to bring a part of it to the Mopar world....to bad they suck and perform like shiite.











    haha, just kidding bra

    there are a lot of ways to do a flowmaster setup...they dont have an American Thunder catback for our cars but we can just throw on a set of 3" Super 44's on any 3" catback adn it will work just fine :happy:

    yay tam!...and yes we all need to get along! :friends:

    you need to pay homage to my AZZ hahahahaha...:moon:...

    flowmasters are a little bit too "aggressive" for most...which is exactly why i put them on everything i have haha...drone=my friend :happy:

    I try to drive mine every chance I can. But I don't like leaving it in parking lots alone. Like it was said before just too many inconsiderate people out there. Plus when the snow flies I use the 4x4. Plus I have to use the 4x4 for work. So I don't have a lot of miles on mine for the year. It sat on the lot for a while and is just shy of 12k with a 1 1/2 years on the clock.

    Doing that is good and bad IMO. You get away from everybody but then there is the jerk that want to park next too you. I just try to avoid the parking lots. The GF used to work at Wal-mart and no matter where she parked it got dinged up. This was her first brand new car. The combination of it always being in the parking lot and the fact that it is cursed for dings has made my mind up for parking lots.

    The car only has 11K on the clock and has four dings in it.:mad2:

    I would take my SRT to work if it wasn't for the all the dirt roads I go on. But once there I just have to worry about the dust getting inside. It sucks. You go to turn on the air and have dust just blow every where.

    Mine is off the road for the winter and I drive a 2003 Minivan that just sucks the life outta me...once the wife buys her new ride, I will take over her Jeep for this crap they call winter.

    I'm trying to talk her into getting a Jeep SRT8 but that isn't flying...gas mileage and no need for that power...so she's looking at a Jeep GC, a Ford Edge AWD or a new Jeep Liberty. This winter I took it out once in the snow, pulled a right turn into Sunoco and spun 180 degrees lol..last time it saw snow so I went out and bought this winter thing that next weekend. I miss my car a lot, but yesterday we got about 3 inches and I was glad she was in the garage, warm, safe and sound. I will be putting it back on the road March 1st and keeping the minivan on the road for all of March just in case. In april, the minivan goes into storage at my father-in-law's best friend's greenhouse operation...inside! woohoo

    wow dude, sucks to be you. you guys probly have nothin but snow all winter long up there. my gf's parents have an awd edge. its a nifty little gadget although the steering is kind of "mushy"....lotsa body roll. then again i may be comparing it too closesly to the srt but i just dont like the steering and response. other then that its a pretty cool little ride. i like the gc's and the liberty's better.
