Side exit exhaust, what? ...still need to get a nice chrome tip, maybe a rectangle one or a dual 3 inch. It's stock piping into a very "high flow" cat with a Flowtech glasspack muffler. Best sounding 3.8L I've ever heard, sounds like a 70's 350 at idle, doesn't get raspy until 5k, even then it sounds really good.

New wheels, 01 c5 Corvette "wagon wheels" 17x8.5 up front with 235/45/r17 Falken Ziex ze-502's and 18x9.5 with a 1 inch spacer out back with 275/35/zr18 Bridgestone Potenza re-50a's

A few more of the car:

Leave me comments or questions and tell me what you think. Not sure where I want to go next with the car besides a few handling mods.

Please remove the fender hash or change the color, and remove that LED strip on the inside

I shall do neither of the above, I appreciate the opinion, but I enjoy both. The stripes are vinyl, I change them a lot, the purple is my favorite, it looks good and a lot of people like them.

Thank you, I know its not everyones cup of tea, and I respect that, but I try to keep it clean haha. The LED's are for me as well haha, I drive a lot at night and it you see them in person I wire tucked them and tried to hide them as best as possible.

Thanks man, I'm hoping to boost it next summer, but for now I'm enjoying the bolt on's and the 24 mpg I average.

Good to see another F-body on the forum/road.

morla · 05-17-2012, 04:27 PM

I always thought the hash marks were a dodge thing, since it's in their logo and on the r/t models. Although purple is super sweet

Yeah its the mopar thing lol, but it doesnt look bad on here

bigslowchevy · 05-17-2012, 05:45 PM

its not only a dodge thing, it came on many different cars, including the corvette gran sport, which i think is what he is trying to mimic

dugganzx3 · 05-17-2012, 06:07 PM

Yea, its actually a race car thing, nissan used them back in the 60s and 70s as well as tons of other cars, I believe the first cars to use them were the shelbys in 1963. I would say the last company to use them is dodge actually, and yes, I am emulating the Grand Sport Corvette stripes. I had previously had a red and white stripe, and 2 silver stripes. Now I have the 2 purple ones I have 8 or 9 different sheets of vinyl in random colors so I do change them up quite often, purple is my favorite color though.

Thanks for all the compliments though guys.
