New GT muffler pics of shop work
 
I picked up my GT muffler for my v6 yesterday, it was only $40 and i installed it today. It sounds real nice, not loud or weak and its not ricey.

The stock muffler had three or four brackets on it but the GT only had 2, it was real simple but my car is too low to get on the lift at school so i used Jack stands under the rear axles and a socket set.
Heres my pictures:

Wow, i cant wait to get it like that, i know for shure were getting it done in black but im still pulling dents and bonding it. I started it but the brakes dont work so were going to pull them and prob. put disk brakes on. We have a new grille on its way and the chrome bumpers are in the office. I cant wait to get it finished

no. at the moment we are only putting out 290 hp. The heads are Aluminum, we need a new upper radiator hose because it rubbed on the fan housing. Im getting it on the lift next weekafter i change my Mustang suspension and im going to change the brakes, brake lines and whatever else needs doing.

When I was in high school we used to have an autoshop too it was pretty fun, I remember I used to be in the autoshop almost the whole day. I used to do all my work fast so I can go to the autoshop. Here are some pics on how our autoshop looked like, but now its closed because our teacher was old and he retired. This pics are from last year 5 de Mayo

In the pic above you can see a drag tire, above the little storage room. Thatswhen wewent to a fieldtrip to Pomona Raceway, and some friends and I took it to the autoshop, and it still in there.

In the next pic thats me driving a 1967 mustang that was donated to the school by the sherif police station of the city. The car was abandoned since it was donated in a storage room, I was the first one to drive it after all that. It was full of dust, but it fired up right away. Btw the paint on that car is the stock paint.

In the next pic there is the whole class together, including the teacher and the only girl enrolled in the auto class.

In the next pic it was a very sad bar-b-q that we did, because the teacher told us that he was retiring, we miss him a lot Mr. Robert Olson.

Bet it sounds nice. You and I have the same car - V6 in white, same rims, spoiler, etc... I went with the Flowmaster American Thunder, which sounds pretty good, though a little high when hitting the higher rev's - I may end up swapping it again but I need to hear some other options in person...
