Talking I made a youngster fall in love with Camaro's + TSP Headers

Alright, I have 2 good stories. It's been a while since I've posted in the general discussion so I'll start off by saying that I just put TSP LT headers with off road extensions then straight pipes on. They sound like pure God. TSP makes a spectacular product and install was a breeze. Luckily I have my own car lift and some great helping hands so that made life much easier. Install took about 2 hours. Amazing quality product for only 500 bucks. Any questions let me know.

Now my first story, went to the dealership to get my oil change (I know the guy in charge and he watches his workers for me). Pulled into the garage and everyone in the garage just looks at me like wtf is that beast . Well I filled out the paperwork and one of the mechanics came to get my car (apparently I got the one mechanic who didn't hear me come in ). He got in (remember we are in a closed garage) started my car and I must say his reaction to the loudness of my car was PRICELESS . He pulled his back and covered his head like a grenade had just gone off behind him. All in the same motion all you heard is "what the f*ck" . His eyes were ENORMOUS .

All right, now the little guy. Went to get my hair cut and a little boy came and his mom came in. The ladies cutting hair started talking to him about Christmas and what he wanted and such and his answer was "anything that has to do with cars". So one of the ladies went over and got him a car magazine why he waited. I just watched as he went through the magazine looking at all the cars and pointing out the ones he liked to his mom. Then he found himself a 1st gen Camaro and started talking to his mom about it. Then I jumped in and told him mine was sitting outside and that him and his mom were welcomed to go check it out. Then he said "OMG that is your Camaro!?!?!?! We saw it when we came in! I love it it is so cool!". I laughed and said thanks and that when I am finished I'll being it up and rev it for him. So I pulled it up to the store and turned it off then her came out. I told him to go stand behind me then I turned it on lol. His eyes lit up and he started talking to his mom about it. Then I gave him a 6000 rpm rev and he jumped and covered his ears haha. His mom loved every moment of it. So I think I made a Camaro fan out of this little guy. He said he wants one when he's 16 in 3 years .


Anyone who read all that...sweet

Here are some vids of the headers...I'm sure some will be curious. The first one is a run I did today and the second is a vid I attempted to do but the revs were much too loud for the camera. This set up is much louder than a harley this is a good comparison I believe.
