Nice work, sounds great.

Very impressive. Love the way the whole package looks, and it sounds great. Those headers look fantastic. Thanks for posting the video. Perhaps a tripod would make a nice gift on your sons next birthday!

Yeah, that sounds good. I'm sure by now you've gotten to drive yet......how does she drive?

Nice... You can't beat the sound of a 327...

Tx Firefighter · 11-09-2009, 12:51 PM

Sicboy, did Brockman treat you right on the mufflers ? I've heard a few soundbites over on the HAMB of them and have considered ordering a pair for my junk.

I can't say enough good about Brockmans. Excellent people to deal with. The 24" mufflers sound awesome, but are a little too loud for my taste. I called Brock yesterday about getting longer mufflers and he said that he would knock 20% off a set of 36" mufflers. Now that is customer service.

BTW, I sent you a PM.

Tx Firefighter · 11-10-2009, 10:50 PM

I got the PM. I appreciate it. I'm going to need to call Brockman and get me a pair, but in 2 inch size.

WOW!!! The beast has awoken. Breakin her in, so keepin the foot off the pedal, but she gots a whole lotta power and torque. A blast to drive. Already been challenged by a new Mustang...it was hard to hold back.

Built 327 You need two tools in life: duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, you use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, you use WD-40.
