Sounds good mang!
Question: How did you get the driver's side manifold flange to not leak? In the 4th pic it looks like that flange cup on the H-pipe is completely rotted off

Could have been condensation. He did say it was cold. Was also running rich so that could have been the cause of the smoke.

it looked blue because it was blue= valve guides.

but anyhow, sounds pretty good. i had the same exhaust on mine, but it wasnt loud enough for me. weld some 3" stainless tips on there and it will be much deeper...

Adam the exhaust sounds good, I think your smog pump is on its way out, I would bypass it or remove it. That weird interior sound reminds me of when my smog pump was still intact lol.

Also, if you want better results for night time shots of the car, use a tripod (or the ground if you had to) and use a longer shutter time. Also, use a medium to large aperature (smaller f#) so that the car is really sharp but everything else is soft, it makes the car look meaner.

thanks for the tips... i used the ground and the g/f's camera i gotta get used to it yet.... but yea that dumb ass kazzoo noise is from my smog pump being disconnected... if you look close in the pic of my h pipe the last owner welded the connections off... one of my cats also has a pin hole in it...
