Alloy Dave Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I would avoid using the words "RUF" and "ROCKS" in the same sentence. Oh wait, that's "STONES", not "ROCKS". Nothing like car parts in the mail. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500KR Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Wow, very cool............ Ruff does ROCK! As he would put it "Good form" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegar Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Just stopped in the shop to go over things. He'd like me to come up with a GT tailpipe, and he'll fabricate the rest for $150, with an X or H. He thinks it'll sound funny though, says a 6 doesn't sound good 'split'. I think the X will help that. So, next quest is a GT tailpipe. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Tony - I'm glad they arrived safe and sound! Now I can't wait to hear 'em. Glad you're happy. :hyper: Ruf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small delay - I'm watching the kids for a while so the wife could run some errands. I have one bolt left in, and the old one's out. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very thoughtful, man. Thanks :happy feet: Glad you enjoy the gifts man, it was the least I could do. I had to take the muffler to the shop to get bumped out, the clamp on yours was tight enough to crush it a bit, and it wouldn't fit. Now I'm stumped by the little nub on my tailpipe. My old muffler is notched on the end to match it, this one isn't. Should I cut the input side of the muffler, or remove the little nub off the tailpipe? - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegar Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 It's on! Sounds great! Might need a bit of adjustment, it's close to the plastic. Which means taking it off and bending the hangers. And I tightened it down. Damnit. How much clearance do I need? Pics & sounds coming soon! - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegar Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 It's back on, and adjusted perfectly - I can run a finger around from one side to the other, and it is just brushing the bumper the whole way. Uploading some sound files now - it ain't bad for a 6. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegar Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Alright, here it is. The first 6 seconds is the stock v6 exhaust. The rest is the single Bassani. The microphone sucked, and it was recorded on an old minidisc player (yes, I have a portable minidisc player. No, I didn't steal it from a museum) Hopefully the volume is ok. The mic was a bit too close both times, I think. - Tony exhaust.mp3 exhaust.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegar Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Hell of a difference. Sounds good. HSURB I gotta say again, thanks to Ruf. Ran to grab dinner for my family... and was grinning from ear to ear the whole time. I've always enjoyed driving without music and listening to the sound of an engine, but this is awesome. It's hard not to hit the gas just so I can hear it. At idle it's quiet, no one notices. But every time I left a stoplight the person next to me thought I was trying to race, lol. It's great Ruf. As you like to say, good form. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booting up Co-pilots computer so I can play the clip. My sound card or something just quit working. Honestly the clip is mediocre next to the actual sound. I really need a better microphone, and an easier way to record. But it gets the point across. It does not sound like the same car. At all. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegar Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Almost forgot to post this, was hilarious. I'd just gotten the muffler on (the first time) and my wife sticks her head in the garage, asks how it's going. I said great, want to listen, about to fire it up for the first time. She says "But it's just one, it won't sound different till you get two, right?" I just smiled, and turned the key. Her eyes got real big, she smiled, and says "Wow. Uh, WOW. Is that two? That can't be one? It's one? WOW. Let's get the kids a sitter, and go for a drive!" Yeah, it's that good. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
