Spent a night or two on the beach myself getting eaten alive by chiggers and sand fleas. That bridge is still there too. I was out there the other day. No need for a police call from what I saw.
I've seen the hotel .... we didn't even know what AC was

The 'Rock' was the same way with Onna Point, before they moved to Schwab

Got everything straightened out last Thurs night & I also had an issue w the NPP tips...

The right side tips hang 3/16" lower, but I'm able to even them out by tightening fat 1/4" zip ties around the 4 rubber hangers. I'd already had these on there for several months b/c I didn't like how low the tips hung in stock config.

I had RPM tune it on Friday & the car is literally a different animal...they said I added an easy 50+ hp/tq & I believe it.

Now I can't keep my foot out of it & howl like a maniac when I tach it out...that $1,700 was worth every penny.

I went out this morning for my usual Saturday morning "country" drive and finally got a couple of acceptable videos. First one is the same location as the previous vids a few posts up. This time the entire stretch of road though from inside the car.



This one is several clips made into one video with the GoPro mounted on the rear with the suction cup attachment.

Sounds great! Does it drone at all from 1200-1700rpm in 6th? I've got a factory Z06 axleback on mine now and the drone is driving me crazy since I don't have any way of shutting the flaps. It's fine above 1800rpm though.

Very, very little. On the highway in 5th or 6th it is not as loud as NPP in "wild" mode. In fact, considerably less. Extremely happy with it.

Nice vids!! Love the rear-mounted camera one, you really get a good feel for the agressive tone etc!

This is impressive. 7 hours with taking pics and drinking 10 beers, wow. Reminds me of my garage header install on a 2006 Mustang GT. I'm in half way decent shape and I was sore after the job due to all the up and down.
