He is a pretty well known muffler/exhaust installer/fabricator....
Luckily for me he's only 20 minutes from my house. He has been in
MANY Hot Rod, Road & Track, Truckin, Mini Truckin, Sport Truck, Mopar
Magazine... You name it. He did a setup in 93 on a 5.2L dakota... Used
a split pipe after the cat- into 2- Walker/Dynomax Ultra flo mufflers (oval
style) mounted side by side 'vertical' (*the wide side was stood on end,
and both mufflers sat right next to each other).. From there he dualed out
the
rear... The truck was white I believe, and had Cuda graphics striping on
it
(the long black dashes that finally blend in at the rear). All of the
magazines
in his 'waiting' room have the pages marked :P (with his shop/him in it).

The LOUDEST (sorry) car I ever heard was at Carlsbad raceway when
I did my 1/4 mi. runs. It was lime green Dodge/Plymouth Satellite, with a
hemi in it... This thing was sooo loud that I put my helmet on while
waiting
in line to run, and rolled up my windows.... My rear view mirror was
impossible
to see out of because it vibrated beyond recognition when this guy was
idling
next to me in line. I actually tried to start my truck up (when waiting, I
would
shut off the truck) while it was actually running TWICE while this guy was
next
to me... Needless to say that after a 8' long wheel stand and momentum
caught
up with him ...I beat him by 3 seconds in my Dakota ! :) Actually he beat
a
camaro (70ish) by that much, but after the camaro did a great
rearbumper-hit-
the-asphalt-wheel stand... :P

None taken! Get a wav. file up when you get your exhaust... I finally
got my computer fixed at home (I'm using this from WORK :P), so I will have
a wav. file up of my exhaust with headers by Friday...
