    It had 18" extensions with turndowns. Yeah, sounds awesome from the outside but like you said, inside you are shaking and rattling to pieces

    That idle coming off the burnout is just awesome!

    don't ask. I'm convinced Jeff sold his soul to the devil about a year ago :erm:

    Thanks. I keep on playing the burnout over and over. Sounds even better with headphones on! Someone suggested getting some video of the car running through a tunnel. I may do that and get one from a highway overpass before I put the catback on.

    Yes!!

    Thanks. It just sounds loud on the inside of the car. Sounds a whole lot better from the outside.

    :thanks:

    About 500 lbs. Car weighs about 3710 lbs. on race day.

    Removed seats (cheap racing seat and bracket installed), removed kicker amp, removed floor mats, removed trunk liner, emptied windshield wiper fluid tank, 1/4 tank of gas or less, removed front swaybar, lightweight wheels and tires on all four corners, lightweight battery.

    It has a nice crackle
