Had to help a bud with his car today (Fasty) was quite impressed with the result , Had an EPA noise warning in the mail the other day for my Nissan.... didnt realise that Police men's ears are rated to measure Db..... needless to say the car went thru compliance and 2 RWC in 2 different states and noone has mentioned or complained about the exhaust.... The notch is now running like a dream so may have to pack a bag for Valla.
