Edlebrock makes mufflers? o.O

How is the sound gonna be compared to a Magnaflow or a Flowmaster crossflow?

[99gagt3x00]

its a chambered muffler like the others. i know someone who has one and it sounds good.

i was going for a borla pro xs but 270 for a muffler is insane especially when all the other borla mufflers of the same brand brand but different inlet sizes were around 100 bucks i said screw that.

i already had a flowmaster and was looking for something better.

How much was the muffler? I might upgrade to it when my Flowmaster rots away.

[99gagt3x00]

normally 110 but its on sale for 65 right now at summit

plus i had a code for $20 off that i used on this order.

i got it along with some mandrel bends for the tips.

my flowmaster looked new on the outside but on the inside there wasnt much left. i high temp painted it when i first got it and it never rusted on the outside.

Make sure you post up before and after pictures and videos of the exhaust install

How old was your FM 80 muffler? Mine is a year old now, just curious to see what their life span was. My sound hasn't changed much since it broke in.

[danmccormick87]

I have Flow Master exhaust on my truck, and that thing has been sunk in water, covered in mud, basically given hell, and it still runs like new... They are built to last a very long time, I'd say you have a good 5-10 years before you should even worry about replacing it

[99gagt3x00]

the FM 80 was i would have to say 4 going on 5yrs old.

well another note the muffler came today and maybe ill get some work done this weekend.

[99gagt3x00]

well i got the full sweep oil pressure gauge mounted and working just got to put the other screw in on the pillar to screw it to the car.

i had a short sweep oil pressure already in there and came across the full sweep on ebay cheap and brand new so i picked it up. i always wanted a full sweep for a little more detail.

also got the muffler installed and for now it just got the pipe for tips. it was getting late and i was getting annoyed so i just got everything welded up and mounted on hangers and called it a day.

it looks like this pic. this is the way i ran it for awhile after i got the SLP catback years ago. i will eventually mount the tips i posted above but for now ill keep this look.

no pics today i didnt bring the camera. i honestly didnt think i would get anything pic worthy today. i got a tripod so the pic will come out better. i may get an in garage exhaust clip next week.

still got to install the wideband. made the cutout last week so i could mount the wideband gauge in one of the vents on the dash. next week ill start running the wires for the wideband.

decided it was time for a change so i removed the PONTIAC i had at the top of the windshield as seen in this pic.

i only did a quick test run to check to see if the oil pressure gauge worked and well i had to hear how it sounded.

sounds pretty damn good i cant wait for spring to come. ill get some pics of the setup next week and maybe a video clip too.

well since it was nice out i decided to take it out for a quick spin so here are some pics and a video. its still a little dirty from when i had to take it out in January to get a sticker.

dont worry ill get some better pics soon.

[danmccormick87]

Sweetness!!! I love how your grills and hood scoops look! Gives me an idea of how mine will look once I get the recessed grills installed

[99gagt3x00]

i havent done anything with the two holes between the headlights and the mesh on the hood is whatever they put on when it was made.

the mesh i put in the lower part of the bumper is that cheap gutter guard stuff. i was actually thinking of taking it out.

fixed the pics didnt realize photobucket screwed up.

[Jedi3]

I have to agree I love that hood.

[99gagt3x00]

between the hood and the headlights it really changes the look of the car.

an old pic from last year. i think even with just the hood it would have looked 100x better.

i always wanted the factory SC/T hood and all the ones i went and looked at were either beat to shit and they wanted a fortune for them. most of the hoods i looked at were in the $300 range plus add in paint and the cost to fix the fiberglass. then this groupbuy came up for the carbon fiber hood so i went for that.

[Sam]

That hood is schweet man i wish i could have had one for my old ga....keep it up
