FWIW Rodney I approve. I think the mufflers are a waste of money though since I have none on my car and it's not even close to "too loud". I like the satin finish treatment on the tips though.

None? What are you running, the SLP straight pipes?

Correct. You have driven my car so did you think it was too loud?

You are such a ricer Rodney. New taillights and new mufflers only to make your car louder? Whats next, neons? a big wing? VTEC stickers?

I feel like there is some irony in here. Someone post the picture.

Yeah, I saw those. I bought these GTA's for a 100. I don't think I can go straight pipe, my old ears can't take it...

I'll bet the lack of difference would surprise you.

That is really cheap for SLP Loudmouths too.

GTA's are installed. I dig the way these sound. A huge plus is no drone in the car. I was surprised at how much lighter these are.

Muffler deletes are really popular on the Camaros too, you would be surprised how quiet 4 catalytic converters make the exhaust.

Once you put long tubes and high flows on though, all bets are off, it even makes the stock catback pretty loud under WOT. My car has a completely stock cat back but longtubes and you know it doesn't sound stock, lol. It's actually a very nice balance though with the longtubes, it used to have flowmaster American thunder exhaust and boy was it loud! I put a stock catback on just to not make the neighbors angry, lol.

Here was my only notable winter project, tablet dash!

Works AWESOME with TrackAddictHD. Streams audio direct to my sound system.

Is that mounted directly into the center console?

Yup, I removed the radio and mounted a piece of black ABS plastic, the used velcro to hold the tablet to the ABS.

I had to dremel about 1/4 off the bottom of the Focus center console to get the tablet to fit. Also mounted a small Class D amp and a Bluetooth receiver in the cavity that the radio used to occupy, so I can stream music while crusing around.

Looks surprisingly good Ryan.

RodneyWright · **Posted:** Sun Mar 01, 2015 8:32 pm

damn Ryan, that's looks good....

Way cool, Ryan. Does that tablet run your datalogging, if you do any? That would be slick to have Solostorm running into that as well.
