    Thanks Guys......

    I drove it about 25 miles today and this thing is pretty strong but I gotta get used to the 6 speed trans........I've had 4 speeds and 5 speeds but this will take some getting used to!!

    Side note: Looks like someone backed into something as the repair ain't great......just the plastic cover and an OEM FORD cover painted is only $655.00 shipped....not sure I'll do anything soon 'cause it's hardly noticeable but wouldn't it be nice if Marauder bumper covers were that inexpensive??

    Stay tuned......more to come!!

    I'll fill you in. Click 6th once you hit 90 for stupid low RPM cruising. This is how I got my last ticket going through Ohio at 90.. Just cruising along talking quietly to my wife on a open highway at around 2,200 RPM's. Oops.

    Yes Bob.....I noticed at 70 MPH the RPM's in 6th were about 1700!!!

    Plus the speedometer goes to 160 MPH putting 60 MPH way left of center......like I said it will take some getting used to!!

    So far it's very nice but.....TOO QUIET!!

    If you want loud, Corsa.

    I went with roush axle backs ( because I wanted quad tips) but they have a nice aggressive sound.

    I put GT500 mufflers in mine , car has cat less x pipe

    It's quiet at idle, I can leave my house early in the morning and not wake the neighbors. At wot it's frickin loud!

    Being quiet at low rpm has gotten me out of a few tickets, they definitely heard a loud car, but I was just putting along nice and quiet
    The twins2.3 whipple/aluminatorVortech V-2 lots of goodies

    Absolutely no drone on my setup, which they say sounds the same as the single tip vs quad tip. Nice and deep idle and low revs, but has just a bit of rasp at WOT without being too obnoxious IMO. It really wakes it up with an X pipe upgrade.

    SHould sound like this, just the axleback
