    what is drone?

    The pulsating flow of gas through mufflers causes a certain wavelenght vibration that amplifies inside the chassis going in resonance . It can (in extreme circumstances) damage your ears too , but mostly is annoying . Rpm value influences the pulsation , as the muffler design . So with some...

    Waiting period for first wax?

    Vinyl tends to move a bit after installation . For my car I've been suggested to wait at least 2 weeks before washing (!) and waxing , to allow the glue and vinyl compound to stabilize with the surface of the car . After 8 months , not a single problem : apart the first 2 weeks , i regularly...

    Please look at these dyno results

    Ok , I admit that the numbers are really bad :bang: ; The stang is totally stock now ; since I am planning on modding it with K&N filter + SCT2 custom tune for the eurosuper 95 octane fuel , I decided to take a dyno run before the mods . The results are horrible , I think mainly because our...
