Yeah, gotta remember that you have no brake lights when you slow like that. I'd leave the car in second and grab the e-brake, then I'd be watching the mirror to make sure some dumb **** doesn't plow into my ******* car.

Eh, mine too, but that doesn't mean anything. I've seen dumber **** happen. I really need to get a video of my car now, exhaust sounds better than it ever has before.

I dunno, mine isn't too bad. It has a kind of buzz in 1st at 3000-4000 rpms when just barely on the throttle, so I shift before that. Otherwise, it sounds great. Just a ported stock manifold, 3" catless DP, and GMPP Performance cat-back. I like it.

How'd you port your exhaust mani?

Is your exhaust the Touring or Sport?

I do porting work on the stock manifolds. Also can port TBs, intakes, whatever else needs it. Carbide bits, grinding stones, whatever else is needed.

Sport catback.

Ass Dyno results?

Mild, I'd guess 4-5hp, similar to the GMPP manifold or better.

Anytime. Right now, I happen to have a stock one sitting in the garage, so I could send it to you ahead of time, saves you from having any downtime.

I understand completely, I can't afford **** right now, I am not currently working and I got fucked with a reckless driving ticket that is going to screw up my life for the next 6 months at least.

Hahah wimp.

Don't ask me how the roads are, I'm the ballsy-ist bastard when it comes to that.

I'll drive thru 6 inches of fresh powder and a blizzard going 75mph on the thruway without flinching

Snow tires give you confidence like that.

It's snowing out right now but the roads are just wet.

Dont get your panties in a bunch

Hack IDK about you but I'm still under my warranty (just under 30k). Is there anyway I could wiggle my way into getting new rotors replaced under warranty? I know its really a wear and tear part so I doubt my odds are good, but if I can try to get something for free its worth a shot. I've heard of some guys getting their rotors warrantied before.
