anyone have any suggestions?
 
Scott...just be careful not to get an exhaust system that is too full flow...the LC engines like back pressure! Otherwise you could end up losing low end torque/power.
 
Hey!!!!
Where are you at?!
That looks like my HOOD!:cool:

YEUP!!!
I was driving next to you the other day going home in my Ford F150!!!
I tend to take notice when other cruisers are in the area and I was checkin your rig out...You pulled into the development across the street from me!
Then, I was walking my dog and spotted your rig!
Too Funny!
Small frickin town!
At least if ya need some help, you can throw a rock, hit my house and I can come over and help!

Takeit: Did I see that rig parked across from Mono Lake just last week ?

Looks like a good rig for the $$

Chicago: Crazy! You live out in Damonte, too? You'll have to come over some time and check it out. I'm usually home during the day, or I'll be outside, tinkering with something. I just put in some vacuum lines, cap and rotor, and new spark plugs - and I passed smog today, where I failed just a couple weeks ago... So far, so good...

Cheers!
 
Yeup,
In the "Silverleaf" development, right across the street from your development....
You go in there, and look to your right youll see my BEAST in the driveway!

Small frickin town!
