Thanks Rich!

Do you or anyone have that MPEG of the Devek White Car from years ago - the one where they're going past the video camera at about 175MPH during an open road race? Their car had that same howl, it sounded like an Indy car when it went by. I wish I had saved that video.

Too bad we can't just pick up the phone and order Devek Level II headers anymore.

Yup Dennis, Rich and Kibort all run about the same setup.....Devek Level II headers with single 3.5" and various mufflers-cats etc.... Its loud....Rich's is right on the edge of acceptable for a DD.....Dennis's is too loud for a DD....but thats just my opinon....

Some, if not all of these cars sound great.
Do you guys ever worry about having stereo cop callers?

What exhaust???? That is the sweet (but loud) sound of a 3.5" straight pipe with no mufflers. (normally, we run the rear borla can, but in the Time Attack day, there were no noise restrictions.) Lots of fun!

By the way, scot left my house and pissed off the neighbors, but man, his car sounds GREAT!!! that magnaflow is more muffler than i have, and it sounds really tight!!! plus, those cams (or lack of idle control) gives it a lop'ing idle that just sounds mean! Ill see if i can get a clip of it on video

I was looking at Magnaflows last night. Those Super 40 Flowmasters make it so damn hard to change the transmission fluid now that I'm ready to ditch them just to get 2 4" round Magnaflows under there to free up space. I'm sure they'll be lighter too...

this is still one of the best sounding cars around. doesnt sound this way from the stand, but from behind it, it does. btw, its not the 928, its the GT3RSR in front!

Mine has two Borlas also. Cats may be the difference.

I found the Devek white car video on my old laptop. It was made and copyrighted by Dave Ohlemacher back in 2000. It's in RealMedia (ram) format.

Is it possible to upload it if credit is given to Dave? If so, does anyone know how to upload this? I'd be happy to email it to someone who could. It's only 12 seconds long, but this high-speed pass sounds awesome.
