Build Week 11/9/2015

I have watched a number of cat back exhaust system installation videos. They ALL claim it was a 'piece of cake' to install in less than an hour. As a matter of fact, they didn't even get their hands dirty! Ha!
Thanks for the reality check. I figured it was not so 'easy.'

If I installed a regular system with a single tip muffler, It would have been a quick install. The exhaust itself was easy. It was the roush valance that was the bee-otch

I have used Magnaflow on two hot rods I did and was very satisfied with the authoritative sound. That actually had to 'break in' to get the proper sound. However, in this new GT, I am looking for a cat back that will not wake up the dead and not give me a headache. I am leaning toward the Bora Touring Cat Back system.

I had a '65 and then a '67 Vette a few years ago. Both had the factory side exhausts. I would always come home with a pounding headache from the noise. I don't want a repeat of that ever again.

BTW, as a very young teen, I would travel into Manhattan with my friends. We would always stop at the Orange Julius stand on the corner in Times Square.

All washed and put away for the night

I got rid of the chrome GT, added black 5.0 badges, added the 4th brake light mod and had an Xpel clear bra installed.

Hood vents??

Hood vents??

They are getting custom painted. Dark charcoal grey metallic that fades into the silver. The front half will be painted with the side strakes fading to factory silver. My new wheels are charcoal grey metallic.

Spock said: After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

Enjoy the wait. It will make good memories and you will appreciate the car more.

Hi Deysha, just wondering if their is any updated shipping info on my GT350. Last 8 of vin are G5521047. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks aging for your help.

It just arrived at the last rail yard, RedFireTerminator. It’ll now wait on a truck to pick it up and deliver it to your dealer by 12/24/15.

Couldn't wait on my ordered car any longer and didn't want to make another payment on the car I was trading in. Picked up an oxford white from another local dealer and am beyond happy with my choice. I had originally ordered redline and PP, this one has PP and nav so a good trade off for sure. Learned my lesson on ordering a car...don't do it! lol Thanks again to Deysha.

Very nice, jedcoRED!! Congrats and you're very welcome!!

Deysha
