Ok...here's she is, live and in demand...Msfitoy's exhaust notes...

This is what RMW head, header, zero cat, and custom exhaust sounds like...

No editing...especially the "unregistered" trial converter (Huge thanks Nate!)...the runway's is much shorter than it appears because I had to set the camera on the ground...rolling starts with clutch fully engaged...the slight chirp you hear is from the both tires breaking loose under acceleration...shift point at 6500...no speed shifting or smokn rubber...sorry...

No...my LEDs aren't flashn...it's the way the camera take the video...

Enjoy...

click this and...TURN IT UP!!!

Sounds good, Sid. Very deep tone at idle, nice. Man, and all this time I thought you never drove your car.

I was just hoping that you didn't hit the camera on the pass back! Sounds great, thanks for the video.

It's a little known secret but I'll tell ya...Late at night after the garage is closed, I put her up on jacks, turn off the lights then start Msfitoy up and engage 6th...I let her roll her wheels while I sit back naked with a stiff martini...YAH BABY!!!

Anytime you're ready Doc...

The second vid is with DDM intake...after much deliberation, I've decided to move on to an intake that will be receptive to the upcoming Rotrex install...Dave at DDM is a very cool guy and his product is first class in construction and design...pics to come...
