    The Cherry Bomb Extreme on the 2.7L will sound like a Bi-Plane at highway speed. I'm seriously tempted to go back to a 4 cylinder just for the sound it produced. It was louder than an 8 cylinder Tundra...and almost as loud as a 5.0 Mustang.

    Never was a fan of that type of exhaust sound. I like mine. It has a decent throaty sound when it idles, and when you gas on it it has a solid, but mellow sound.

    Post #38 on 12/11 you're at 'work', post #81 on 12/13 you're 'laid off' and going to paramedic school.

    As for what I've read so far... interesting. Just keep fact checking.

    Sorry about you luck dude, at least you got into school fast!

    Anybody think having a carbon fiber hood would dramatically reduce weight?

    $500 for a hood is pricey.

    I think with...but if there is only a small difference in weight between the scoop or no scoop, I'd probably take the scoop.

    They are paintable right?

    Paul Walker: the other day was Paul Walkers remembrance race...at the scene of his accident down the street. A bunch of people with their rice rocket cars showed up, and one dude in a 300z Nissan pulled up next to me. Without even trying, my little 236HP (Now 250HP after mods) beat him off the line, hands down. His was a stick, and mine is an automatic. I think he didn't know how to drive though, and that's why I beat him, but yea, thought I'd share the story.

    The weight of the paint will offset the plastic bolt mod. Skewp adds weight and drag.
