sounds nice! exactly what i want my dads 5.0X to sound like lol

 

[BeauJ]

Damn man, that does sound good.

Honestly, it doesn't sound that bad. Although you can tell the popping at the end is metallic fart can tone.

i think thats the left muffler, for some reason more air is coming out of it than the right one... i dont know why but thats how it is, not to mention its a tad loose so it shakes a little.

they are true duals by the way

*edit* i got the same problem on my compact car... but it has magnaflow exhaust... it has a metaly fart can sound to it, but i think theres a piece of welding material in it

 

[BeauJ]

It's common for more air to come out of one side then the other. That's what an X pipe is for. It balances out the exhaust flow to make it come out even.

your car went from mild to WILD!

cool i found my twin! except your mod list is as long as my wish list...

what kind of rims are those 20"s and did you drop it any? It looks like the front is dipped lower than the rear. Did you change the fender flares or am I just confused by camera trickery? It looks clean though Dont be surprised if I PM you with a mod question or two down the road- but it probably won't be a question about an exhaust issue! I cant decide whether to ask how/who/where/why/or what went wrong, so I just wont ask. Anyways, looks good. It will be a great inspiration for me to keep the progress going on my project truck (I hope to run :15s in a year or so with the help of Ford Racing headers, Roller Rockers, EFI Heat Spacers, and NO5, hopefully the rods and heads last that long- 104K right now ) Keep it up.

22's the front is lowered like an inch and a half or 2 inches (measured before and after but forgot as soon as i got to the after).

fender flares are stock, it might be the lighting (it was early in the morning) along with the tint and rims that makes it look different

 

[XLoudFN97X]

nice shoes! you get any wheel-well rub on turns or bumps? i stared at those fender flares for a while goin' back and forth cuz the flares in the older pic look more like mine and the newer pic looks like the flares are thinner (like the Sport flares) but I assume they are the same as mine... Also, you really need to swap those JBL fronts, man. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Saleen_SR71]

Hmm it seems like someone made a replica of my Truck... I have no picture of it but I was told it resides in Santa Rosa, CA

 

[buckshotmudder]

wow im impressed with the sound-keep up the good work

 

[Saleen_SR71]

Well updates wise.

Got the motor bored and stroked from a 302 to a 347 with 9:1 compression. Supercharger is still pending (stuck between two), hopefully I will have purchased one within the next week, might only be spending $2500 on the supercharger and FMIC (if im lucky, excluding install)
