The Accufab is just perfect for those 4:30am starts to Wilton House etc eh Matteo? :wink
We live on the top 2 floors of a 6 story apartment block with the GT in an underground garage below that. The other half says she can still hear the GT start when she's in the top rooms :eek It does quieten down a fair bit when it warms up, but that's no consolation to the neighbours that live right above it. I have thought about pushing it out into the street, but it's an old warehouse area so it echos around the streets anyway.

And everytime you fire it up, the other men in the building think to themselves, "Damn, I want to be that guy"
About a ¼ mile from my home, in the "Village at Mammoth" is a Ski Shop (The Ski Surgeon) owned by John Eisner and his wife. Often when I cruise by his store in the summertime, I'll rev the engine a few times, 'cause I know he enjoys hearing the car (M-9430-GTX Rear Exit Headers).
He once told me that his wife was in the store when I did it, and asked him, "Why does he have to do that when he goes by?"
John's answer was classic -
:cheers

I have a TUBI. Not too loud but a nice upgrade over stock. Takes one scotch and one cigar to install. No need to remove the clam shell. Nice workmanship, very light, easy to re-install the factory exhaust if you wanted. Neat looking tips.

it must be King Ralphie's exhaust.
only a King should have this exhaust.

I am proud to own this same exhaust.
It really makes me smile every time.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Too Loud? Huh, can't hear ya! Jus kidding.
I bought a used accufab exhaust, not the true x-pipe, from Stormcat. He had wrapped with exhaust temp wrap and I think it helps with the droning. But, I LOVE IT!!!!
It is nice and semi-quiet when you start and are at idle. Yet, it will let em know your coming when you put your foot in it. My cobra buddies all love it when I blast past them. I was told by some of the guys from the cobra club that came out to watch us that thursday at the mile, that mine was one of the better sounding at high rpm's. But, what the heck do they know, they are all truely deaf from the sidepipes.:rofl:rofl
Side Note;
We came over from Houston to spend Thanksgiving with the family at Lake Travis yesterday. We arrived in Austin alittle early and the wife had some shopping to do, so my 16 yr old and I decided to play 9 holes of golf. We were putting on the 2nd green at Lions Muni Golf Course when we both stopped and said at the same time, What is that? We heard a great sounding car leaving the stop light about 100 ft from us but couldn't see it for the tree's. As it came into the open, SILVER GT!!!! Wow, did it sound good. The exhaust in that area of Austin, About 5 miles from the Hotel we stayed in Austin for the Rally, resonates from the sides of the hills around the lake. We watched him leave thinking about our car in the garage in Houston and dreaming. BTW-The guy we were playing golf with at this time thought we were crazy.
Was it SilverBullet? Who was the GT playing around Lake Austin Blvd yesterday around 3:45. We also heard you come back about 45 mins later, and we were on the other side of the golf course.:rofl
Chip, For those that don't live in Austin yet, The Motto for the city is "KEEP AUSTIN WIERD" my son and I were laughing when a few mins after the GT passes we see a hand painted PINK Opel Cadet. The 16 yr old laughes and says "Only in Austin would you see a Ford GT and pink Opel on the same street"
Larry Boatner HAPPY THANKSGIVING"

Totally ****** Up
I'll be damned if I didn't brake the baffles on the the hand welded Flowmasters last weekend. It is really amazing how much air these cars push.
