Post Can my red truck sound like this?

I love the sound of this Olds. Would straight pipes get close?

Yummy!!! Drool... haha...when they hit the straight away, you could almost hear the car screaming, "Who's your daddy!?!" to the vette.

That sounds great The only downside is it makes it real hard to hear the stereo. I've been going back and forth on what to do to make mine sound better.

Olds? Olds what? I never saw any Olds that moved and sounded like that one, at least on a road course.

Don't know what kind, but every video of that car at Thunderhill is titled "Olds vs ..."

So, will straight pipes get close?

Spike, staight pipes are loud, and don't get me wrong, they sound awesome, but it doesn't have that deep throaty sound at WOT(only at idle). It does have that "cover your ears, a monster is coming down on top of your a$$," kinda sound though. You choose...If I had the tires, or the time, I'd stop by and let you listen...maybe sometime this weekend if nothing comes up.

Marcus,

I may be in Thousand Oaks in a couple of weeks for business. If I go down I let you know. I'll be flying in to Burbank and heading up from there. I can take the back route thru Chatsworth.

I'd like to hear what it sounds like.

George
