YES I AM!

Everyone loves the sound of the stock exhaust right? but who thinks its not "loud enough" or "It doesnt show the v8"

well, bieng a 16 year old kid all I want and need to be is loud!

So im browsing www.summitracing.com when i come across 2 1/4"glass packs for no more then 21.99 As im starring at the screen mouth gaping open I think to myself is it worth spending 50 dollars to get exhaust that might sound like complete crap?

After three hours of debating The order went threw. No more then 3 days later i get a package with my expierements in em.

Notice!!! These mufflers only come in 2.25" or higher so adapters are needed but do not cost more then 2 dollars at Autozone.

After sawzawing my exhaust off and clamping the adapters from 2.25"-1/78" we were ready to go,

NOTE** I only clamped my exhaust for the time bieng... welding will come with the full system..

I start it up and to my amazement it purred comparable to a mustang with aftermarket borla's. I couldnt get enough of em. All of my buddies love em and agree that they sound BAD!

so ladies and gentalmen lets do the math...
Flowmaster... Borla... Hooker... cost atleast 120 dollars for EACH muffler. I spent 50 dollars and 2 hours of my time and got both mufflers on there and sounds just as good if not better then the top of the line brand...

The only reason i decided to go with these is i needed a cheap mod for my car before FCA which is coming up May 18th for anyone intersted here in STL.

Good:
purrs
loud but just right not to loud
looks good under the bumper

Bad:
comes in 2.25in only but is an easy fix
tips are recomended but not nessesary...

now on to the pics (also i had the priveladge to use a buddies lift but they are not required, just a simple jack and some stands will work as well

Could have slid the glass packs into tips and did what I did for about $60. Cleaner look. I got a deal on the parts thou.

First he's 16 and Anti-Rice - He could be putting a big spoiler on the back and going to AutoGroan to get stickers...

Not bad for a HS student.

I don't know if I would go with the glasspacks but to each their own.

Just remember just because it's loud doesn't make it fast.
 
Hmmmm.Having a 97 LSC when your 16 is like If I had a 85 Grand National when I was 16.(78 granada instead)lol good for you and it looks good.But definatly get those tips put on as soon as you can

GRANADA's rule my friend had one in hs it was a dark red which we renamed "ox blood red":D
 
Cheap way to make some noise, but i like the idea of a 16 year old kid with some good old american muscle! You don't see that very often any more. You got what alot of kids dream about, don't mess that mark viii up!

So how am I doing for a HS student? This summer the gear, converter and chip are going in.
 
I'm 17. I'm on my second Lincoln :D . And I have a 1949 Ford in my garage.

More toys for me :D :D :D

what comes next???? I want more power out of the engine. but im not sure what to waste my money on this time.

Btw, heres a question mayb one of you can ask..

My friend bought a Superchip (actual namebrand)for his Ford Ranger. He then Converted it to work with his lighting, but soon found a better chip for it.

So he is saying that if i can find a person to reprogram the chip for my car hell give it to me... what do ya guys think? who can do it?
