you almost done broseph! but is it me or do the big wheels almost make the car look shorter...i saw you mentioned the bumpy ride..well that doesn't go away on those wheels...some bfg's and some cragars will fix both of those that but thats just my GA-boy muscle head opinion and it takes nothing away from the craftsmanship in your project :D ..you have a beauty on your hands bro..

lg1200:
Thanks for the comment....its bumpy but i love the head turning, maybe one day i will get rid of them and put some stock 15" rims and tires...ummm just maybe...

kuruption109:
He charged me $100 to run the x pipe from the headers to the mufflers, all i had to do was cut and he did the rest...thanks bro :wink:

84ElCamino:
Almost ready to hit the streets Pollo, almost there, man i cant wait, we for sure have to ride out when she is hitting the streets, holla at me for the next run big dawg...good looking.. :D

richp85elco:
Hahahahaha yea right, ur x pipe looks way better than mine, as a matter of fact i took out m y phone to look at your x pipe online while i was there and got all :cry:

But yes it did quite down the exhaust!!! WHY? i thought the x pipe gave it that good rumble, and mad it louder? On the Elko it had the h pipe and i love that sound, oh well i guess i will deal with the x pipe for know, once i start riding it more offten i might like it...

The x pipe quiets the exhaust down because instead of all the pressure from one side of your motor going to only one muffler it goes to both of your mufflers. So theres kind of less pressure at each one because there sharing and its not as loud.. I kept telling everyone my car was going to be loud then when i finally got it running it was quieter than i thought it would be :rofl: My 305 with 1 flomaster sounded way louder

You got all the hook ups $100 is cheap! and Nah man I like the way the X looks on yours it looks like it flows real good! did he build that while you were there or he already had them made??
