Fing Around in the SS

Put together a small video for LS1sounds but I figured I'd post it up as well.

The bridge is 53. Its a road that runs parallel to Northwest highway, near Arlington Park Racetrack. Im surprised to see someone making a video in this location, that road is in horrible condition.

I had a LM on my T/A but dumped it for a magnaflow for that very reason. LM w/LT's is over kill, but one its on I loved it.

nice vid

Haha no way. This is video from 2009. I had shitty Sumi's on the car so I didn't care. I hated those tires, but they were nice to f around in because I didn't care about the cost. But with my BFGs now I'm a little more conservative haha.



I love my Loudmouth, love the rasp also, scares the shit out of everything around me. It's my defensive mechanism against old people. Plus when I'm messing around with all the fart cans I like to be able to hear myself, better yet have them hear me over their cars. I bought the car with the Borlamouth and I just hated that muffler. It was very quiet and coming from a cammed LT1 with a Borla system my LS1 sounded like stock exhaust. I needed something loud again. So doing the cheap way out for now I did the LM1. All I had to change was the muffler. Eventually I want to go back to a TRUE borla catback and install Kooks headers as well, but having the T-56 shit out on me last summer ate up all the funds. FLT and FLP took care of me though and I'm back for round 2. Right now I'm getting ready to order UMI sfcs, Panhard bar and LCAs.

Yeah we went there to take pictures, if you saw I wasn't really racing it under there.

wow that thing is loud i like it tho. just not for me. think i'll stick w/ my magnaflows

 

[Bones]

Haha yeah it's deafening loud for sure, but I'm alright with that. I drive the thing like 3 months out of the year, so it's not a big deal. I added a video up top of a buddies car.

Turbo with no mufflers FTW! Ill see if i can find the vid of my 02 when i put the STS turbo system on it.

:like:

fuck i thought this was facebook......

 

[SirMarco]

Nice video and spot. I am thinking about doing a video this summer. Not just my car but friends cars and more too.

I don't understand people that claim to "love" rasp. It's a horrible sound I don't know how people can stand it. There is a difference between loud, and raspy. Loud is cool, raspy is the complete opposite. But whatever floats your boat, I'd be willing to bet you will grow to hate the rasp in no time. I wouldn't trade my Magnaflow cat-back and flowmaster merged y-pipe for anything.

I agree with the magnaflow but i also disagree. GMMG sounds AMAZING!!!! If you haven't heard it before check out Stkorn's SS

 

[skeezer]

what do you consider full bolt ons?

I barely drive my car, just on summer weekends, doesn't bother me. I hate magnaflows tho, there just way too quiet and personally I don't like the tone of it, not much there imo. I LOVE Borla and GMMG tho. I want to switch to a Borla catback ultimately. Just rather spend the cash on suspension right now, which I have. I won't see any gain from swapping catbacks. Guess I'll have to find someone selling a used one or wanting to switch.

 

[Bones]

Um basics? SLP lid, LS6 intake, full exhaust, suspension. I ordered a umi package of LCAs, Panhard bar and SFCs the other day from ws6store so "technically" it's not on the car haha but it is in the mail. Not like I wrote that on the video tho. But that's what I and everyone else I've seen on LS1tech consider full bolt ons. Not sure what else could be done as far as bolt ons go??? Maybe a couple other parts I'm not thinking of.
