@ 8:00 Love that shot w/paint burning off the headers, very cool.


Did I miss a episode or two, is that 671 on top? They didn't say.

Regardless, that was fun watch lol

That muffler that FedEx brought has some kind of a restriction in it. So it's getting sent back to RA today. I put the Walker on it last night, and it's much happier now. Power has been restored, and it's much quieter now. In that short timeframe, it went from averaging 21mpg to 19mpg.

Top one (Davico) looks like it'd be less restrictive.... but there's definitely something stunk inside the muffler. I couldn't get in there far enough with my inspection camera.

I'm sure that Walker set up will do you just fine, White. They're pretty, but as you know, mandrel bends won't make a lick of difference in that application. And I'm not familiar at all with that brand name. I might have to look it up when I have a moment.

Yes indeed... I'm OK with the Tenneco brands. I prefer them in most applications.

I just had my third interview with a potential new company yesterday, and I'd appreciate if y'all would send good thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes my way.



EDIT: No idea why that's showing up twice, but I'll take it.
