Re: What made you feel good today?

Its been 6 weeks, and im still happy with the exhaust i put on my car. Even my brother who has had a flotilla of cars over the years had nothing bad to say. All his cars he has put exhausts on, headers all that business, so he is heaps critical of any **** sounding car that drives past. But this $100 catback was a great unknown to me, hence why i only fitted it after having it for 4 years, and putting it on because a minor leak in the stock exhaust, meaning it failed rego. But the known good was no rust, mandrel bent 2½ in mild steel, 2 hurricane mufflers, good welds. The unknown was will it sound ****? Nah, its good, at idle you can hear all cylinders firing, loud enough, but not too loud to be abnoxious. Unlike the ED my brother has with headers and 1 muffler on a 3 inch cat back. Cruising at normal rev ranges, doent drone or reverberate. Louder then a poofters fart, but easily not too loud to deal with. Getting on it its louder, but sounds not terrible. My brother has only said good things for once. Now he is rattling on that i should slap on a pacemaker header etc. Thats not happening any time soon if at all. But yeah, for $100 off a written off xr6, im yet to complain, except about the twin chrome tips. Whens the last time anyone has seen a 6 cylinder b series with an exhaust that doesnt have twin chrome tips? It just doesnt look right on a fairmont ghia.
