Happiness is an Exhaust Tone

[Victor Laury]

Another of my check Items has just been completed.

One of my beefs against my car was that it was way too quiet. Another, was the ugly, rusted stock exhaust manifold, contrasting all the lovely replated carburator parts, polished intake and cross-over tube. One Jet-Hot coated MSA Header and a 2 - 1/2 exhuast system ending with a "Super Turbo" (?) muffler and a chrome straight tip has cured these issues.

I asked the guys at Morse Muffler of Burbank if they could steal the exhaust note off of a Ferrari and put it on my car. Well, They did one hell of a job!

Driving back on the 5 freeway was a gas! It really sounds nice pulling away from a stoplight. I'm soo happy! I have a sports car that sounds like one!

Wanna lose 30 pounds of ugly fat? Throw away that pig-iron manifold!

Did you get all the parts from MSA to install? Or did the muffler shop make up some of it?

It'd be cool if you could post a .wav file recording of the sound it makes!

Victor, are you wondering why you didn't do this sooner???:cross-eye

The muffer shop fabricated the whole set-up. Driving the 5 miles to his shop with an open header was fun!

I just did this. Unfortunatly, I have no way to transfer the file from my lap-top to my desk top until I get to work tomorrow and return my lap-top to it's docking station. Until then, perhaps Mike can tell me where to upload it.

You bet Keith!

Maybe someday I'll post something to the correct discussion group?

Maybe it would be a good idea for a feature - everyone could record a 10-30 second wav/mp3 of their car and send it to mike with a description of their system, so that users who are looking for a system can hear which one they like best?

Great idea Alfa!

I want to do 'something' with my exhaust, but don't want "loud", but rather musical, a la Ferrari. A bunch of sound files would sure help narrow the selection
