I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!

Went crawling up some random trails that I found by scoping out my town's bypass and tested the new tires.

Looked like there was an abandoned house up there, so I didn't stay long. Also got watched by a cop coming back down. And photos cannot convey how steep that hill was, or how high. It was fun :D

Slapped this sucker on. Living in the South, I cannot wait for the hate and vandalism.

That sounds awesome! I'm talking my uncle into doing that with his right now.

Haha, it's seriously worth it. $20 per glasspack, using the stock 2 inch piping all the way back. Total cost was about $40 for 2 Red Hots and then another $50 to get them installed, and I couldn't be happier :D

At the lower RPMs, yeah, it'll roar and howl like a banshee, but it settles down nicely once you get going. It tends to smooth out into this nice background rumble, not too much louder than the stock mufflers. Honestly though, I love the loudness of it, that's why I went with glasspacks instead of Flowmasters or the like.

Swapped over and fixed the front end of my P71 tonight. Went from looking like this:



To this:



Replaced the header panel and grille, yanked the front license plate mount, and unbolted the cut-off brushguard mounts that had been left on it when I bought it. Massively stoked, between this and my glasspacks getting installed, this car is turning into something amazing :h:

My tires came in yesterday, so I finally went and got my Bullitt wheels mounted!



Thennn I noticed the fronts were grinding and gouging against the balljoints and had to put the stock steelies back on :sigh:



So now I'm researching how safe it'd be to buy a full set of the thick spacers with lug studs mounted on them so I can use these drat things.

How much wider are they versus stock?

Not quite sure. Stock wheels are 16" steelies and running 225/65/R16 tires. These are 17x8 and running 245/45/R17.

what offset did you get?

+30 :sigh:

They were $200 at a pawn shop and I didn't feel like spending a fuckload of money on eBay trying to find a +0 offset in the same size. It was a case of "Really, really good deal at the time so I snapped it up"
