Good show chap! Awesome mods! But I was mostly relieved to see that you do own a pair of jeans!

Sweet writeup, stephen.

It was great to meet you, Jim, and Bill yesterday. You guys are all hilarious and really keep everyone on their toes. I had a great time watching the installation. Wish I could have stayed longer and thanks for the encouragement on the finals. I am glad everything finished smoothly, Steve and Jim always put out the best work. The Grond looks even more amazing in person. Bill's electron blue Z06 was also . That car is really a blue beast. I am glad you love the sound of the system as much as i do. It really does wake up the exhaust. Now the question is, when is the heads/cam install going to happen?

Brian

WOW WEEE! Thanks for the great pix Stephen! Congrats on getting your projects done my friend! Nice to see Bill C. there as well ... always nice to have a face to go with the names!

Glad you had the lift to do your install and it worked out for you (and Grond).

Nice plate Jeff! Great products from Elite as always!

Stephen,

Great write-up! It sure looks as though I missed a great day. Oh well, I just wasn't up for the drive in the rain and wind. Maybe someday we may even have some nice weather again. You've just about pushed me over the edge on the ABA. It just looks like a solid, quality part and your write-up on the improvements sound great.

Thanks for another great post.

Paul

I'm very pleased with both systems, Dave. And I still can't get over the sound ... I've heard Kooks with no cats and 2 tip Stingers and that setup was NOT as loud or as mellifluous as my Dynatech with cats and 2 tip Stingers.

It's a drug that starts at idle and builds from there......
