went for a drive to Malibu yesterday nd an F430 next to me with whatever Tuby exhaust system next to me sounded so nice and made my car seem like a Nissan as we were kind of goofing around on PCH. I could see wanting to turn up the volume in the near future.

I live in SoCal and have had many F-cars pull along side. I have the rear exit headers and an F-car with a Tubi sounds like a toy next to my car. Which by the way I am not saying a 430 is a toy, clearly it is not. My point is that the proper exhaust on an FGT has a very dynamic sound that is way beyond the scope of a Tubi. I should know, I have had several Italians with Tubis. I used to listen to this clip when I first bought my FGT with the idea that I wanted my car to sound similar, and it does, actually slightly even better.

Not to mention when I go to Kendall's we drink wine, beer, smoke cigars, eat home delivered In & Out burgers and occasionally get a coconut oil massage on a table laid out next to the pool under the palm trees - in our G-Strings. All this while Kendall is working on the GTs.

In all seriousness, if Kendall can't help you locally, no one can. And if you would like to get a ride in a Whipple'd GT, let me know, I'll meet you at Kendall's.

So much good info y'all. Now Im getting the itch to seriously look into some options. Although the sound is important I really like the looks of certain tips like the Borla tips which fts on the Vett. Shelby referred me to this and I wish I could remember how to download the pic. its part #140191. Has the intercooler look. I also love the ones on Shelby #18's GTX1. Most importantly, when I get back from my next trip I am going to join the G-Sting Party with HHGT and Nota4re. Will have to get a hall pass soon and we shall meet for brew and stogies.

Effer, you will find out that you have a whole bunch of GT bros that can turn up the fun dial in a big way. :willy
Two questions....are you going to join us in Texas in October, and how about a quick one day jaunt up to Santa Barbara with us on Aug. 2? :biggrin
Oh, one more thing....you WILL want to change your exhaust after you hear GTs with modified rear systems...and Kendall is THE MAN to help you figure out just what makes sense for you and your gal.

KJRGT, I just plugged in the August 2nd in my calendar and will be there as its on a Sunday. With regards to the big one in October; I am not really sure if I will. I travel internationally about 2-3 weeks out of the month and October and November are the bussiest times for me. So, until we get coser I cannot commit. Plus since I am only Ghetto Rich not like some of Y'all and need to make end meet ever month!!! :) What are the exact dates in October and wher is the calendar of events?
