For some reason both of those videos begin to play for me, but after the first second they both stop and will not continue. I dunno, maybe it's my media player.

Yep, that worked. Thanks Smokie. Nice videos!!! I especially liked the first Marauder in that first video, because during the burnout you can hear that exhaust growling, and that car sounds great!!!! (Which trilogy car was that one?)

Now that compells me to pose a question here:

In that first video, why is it that the first car sounds so much better than the second MM did during their burnouts??? Is it merely because the lack of quality of the internet audio, or is there something different about the exhausts or engines of those two cars??

Is it merely because the lack of quality of the internet audio, or is there something different about the exhausts or engines of those two cars??Billy I will try to answer to the best of my recollection from conversations with both Lidio and Jerry, do not take this as Gospel.

Lidio told me that there is a section of his exhaust pipe where he had changed the pipe to a larger O.D, not the actual exhaust components, Jerry's is exactly stock.

Lidio is running smaller pulley than Jerry so he has higher boost 13.5 versus 11.5. This may be reason exhaust sound is different. I personally drove Jerry's car and it sounds just like mine except for a mild whistle from blower and I actually prefer the stealth of factory sound combined with charger's kick in the ass take off. Hope that helps.

P.S I just remembered that Lidio has a Cone type air filter, Jerry has factory box, that also changes exhaust note.

Okay Smokie. So the first car is Lidio's car. I got it. I like the way that thing sounds. It has a powerful sound to it.Very impressive. Thankyou for that info.....

Thanks, the file conversion was pretty crappy, my actual camcorder video is crystal clear, digital sound. My converting job was not very good, don't know why. But at least you get an idea what was happening.;)

Thanks for posting the video!!! And it was great meeting you and your wife.

Plus it was a pleasure meeting the other several Marauder owners as well at the event in FL. I must apologize... I don’t remember every ones names or screen names.

I just got back from the FL drive and will be posting my experience with my Marauder on this trip later tonight.



Thanks

Smokie, my wife now hates you. She wants to know why you would post those movies when the mortage is due, just kidding. Man those are some sweet Marauders, and thanks for filming for all of us. Hope to see you at the Ford Fun Weekend in Hotlanta, I'll be there!

For those of you who have been following this thread from it's beginning, I want to make a correction about something I stated earlier in here about the Trilogy car sounding sooooo great. I just realized something after I was pondering the fact that Smokie had stated that both of the Trilogy cars in the video have pretty close to stock exhaust systems........

.....and it just dawned on me that in that first video, during the burnout of Lidios car, it wasn't Lidio's car that you hear reving up. It's that car in the left lane that you hear doing his burnout at the same time. I was wondering why Lidio's car had sounded so wild since he has stock mufflers, and w/out even any headers either.

And it's because it was that other car that is heard during his burnout. He is out of the picture at that particular moment, but his car can still be heard loud and clear.
