Yes once my motor is built I would need at least dual 2.75" to reach my power goals. Dual 3" is just right. The dual mufflers just keep it quiet and look hot.

well... if you think about it, none of the mods that any of us do are really "necessary"... but it’s a fun, clean hobby - okay, more like a healthy addiction... lets just say, Tim is a major junkie... in need of intervention? Nah - we love seeing what he comes up with.

So in terms of furthering the mod disease where one thing always leads to another... this was indeed necessary for Tim’s fix!

Sometimes I tell myself I can’t wait to get another car and just leave it stock! Not sure if Tim ever feels that way?

I didn't know you could do that?

I will never, ever leave a car stock. I would find some way to put my own touch on the most amazing stock car you can find.

It's an expensive addiction and this forum makes it 100x worse but I'm still happy, debt and all.

What is this urban legend you speak of?

I agree with OC..none of it is "necessary"...well, unless you are an addict

OK I just got done with them. They are not the best but all I can do since it has been raining all day today and I was alone.

Once they are done uploading they will be put in the first post.

The first video has no video LOL (1 of 3). The camera was sitting in my seat. You can hear when I open the windows, get on it in first and part of second, let off and then go to third. Then I roll up the windows so you can hear the difference.

Here is video #2.

The rain let up for a short time so I was able to go out.

The first pass is at 2500 rpm so you can hear how quiet it is.

The second pass is at ~3500 rpm.

The third pass is at ~5500rpm but I had to let off right after the camera because there is a stop sign not too far after this. *Note*There are no houses or other cars around on this road.

One more to come (in-car).

Here is the third video.

I just take off from a stop and get on it a little bit, roll up the windows and then open the moon roof.

The sound of the turbos will never get old. I like the set up Tim. For some reason, I was expecting a louder tone too but it sounds about the same as the borla? Loudness wise.
