Default My apologies to the fine citizens in . . . .

rural north central CT if I rattled your morning coffee cup with the sound of my newly installed Fister II's on a spirited ride through your countryside. Thoroughly enjoying the soundery! ( sound/scenery) (Did I just coin a new word?)

Damn, I hit the rev limiter a couple of times :-)

It is probably just my imagination but the car seemed to breathe a little easier, and seemingly accelerated a slight bit quicker. Maybe it was just the cool morning air.

Brought it by my indy, his comment? "Man that sounds sweet!"

Thanks Darin!


( I’ve just got to remember to bring the slr instead of using the iphone camera, sorry)

I'm awfully glad you didn't run over somebody's dog, or child...or loose it and wrap your car into somebodys fence, or child, or dog.

Leave it for the track man...rural is no place to drive any differently than you would through your very own neighborhood; as a matter of fact, it is somebody elses neighborhood and should be treated accordingly.

Oh, trust me there were no laws blatantly broken here, just a bit of spirited WOT here and there.

No no, nothing stupid, no disregard. Please take the post a bit tongue-in-cheek from a satisfied Fister customer.

What a great way to head into the weekend. I am so close to pulling the trigger on Stage IIs.

wait for it...wait for it...they get better sounding, I swear!

Pay close attention to the warm restart once the Fisters burn in...absoluetly the sweetest and most immediate raspy rumble.

happy Stage lll customer here

Seriously? No spirited driving in a Porsche in the countryside? Darn, guess I better sell mine.

Congrats on the Fisters, they are great!

Aw, he's ok. I had originally posted "white-knuckled ride" which gave the wrong impression, so I rephrased to "spirited" which was really more the case.

You know how it is when you first install the "right" mufflers, you've got to hear them, yes?

North central CT is very rural, mostly open farmland and few homes. You are more likely to encounter deer or wild turkey rather than dogs or kids, and the roads are wonderful, especially weekday mornings, when they are very quiet.

It is a place where you can safely "run it up a bit" without offending anyone.

Glad to hear you're liking the new Fister. Just got my III 2 weeks ago, and I still can't wipe the smile off my face. BTW, nothing wrong with a little spirited driving to "test" your mods
