cool sh$t man

[GTSLOW]

Dam thats awsome!! Got any pics or videos?

Tom does awsome work! :thumbsup

[UnderPSI]

I have heard great things about toms work, sounds like another happy customer.

I would consider getting a Magnaflow exhaust though. I don't think it is much more and it is all stainless. I have it on my car. I was going to get the hooker too but I was talked out of it.

[Josepy]

tom has a boat load of pics from the install. im going to get some video in the next week. the loudmouth is off the car tomorrow when i get home from work. it sounds like crap unless im at about 5-6,500r's. sounds like a late model. and it helps tom lives 5 minutes from me.

im going to try the hooker because im trading the guy even up for it. so no cost to me. if i dont like i may go magnaflow or corsa. i need to do gears and supsension next. 3.42's suck. ordering 4.10's

[GTSLOW]

You could always get a different muffler for the loudmouth!!

[JC70SS]

What about the SLP TOTL? Loudmouth sucks period. I hate that system. I think Tom has the best sounding LS1 exhaust note.

I dunno I heard toms car many many moons ago with Hooker headers, ORY, and loud mouth, and thought it sounded awsome.

What does he have now that dual dual thing (two pipes to the left)?

[Josepy]

yup 2otl. sounds good. his used to be what my setup is.

I know hes done work on other gm's. He helped me do a head/cam swap on my 4.3L in my s10.

Also has helped the gtp guys.

[ProjectCamaro]

Yeah Tom has a great general automotive knowledge. Just shoot him a PM and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help you out.

[BAD LS1]

Thanks guys!

I love those lifter holder rods, are those home made?

You bet! 5/16" round stock alluminum with a flat edge ground into it, they are about 22" long.

They work slick to hold the lifters up, no worries of a lifter falling out.

Me and Jeff had discussed it, its a pretty large initial investment. It would takea back seat to my career though however... That why i do it on the side as of now.
