My 2SS gets the occasional thumbs up and conversations at the gas station. Kids especially really seem to like the looks and sound of my 2SS. Gives me hope for our latest generation.

Putting wheel spacers on a 3700 lb car that puts down 455HP/450 ft-lbs of torque, capable of 1.0 lateral G and has a top speed of over 170MPH sounds like a very bad idea to me. Might be OK on an old...

If I decide to get one, it will have a manual transmission. Automatics are just plain boring to drive.

Accelerating harder or leaving the transmission in first gear past 2000rpm is a waste of gas. Why not adapt the car to the driver for $15 and 15 minutes.

The two "loud" tailpipes with valves in the factory NPP do not completely bypass the muffler like the cutouts in the OP"s system. The OP's set-up is louder in both settings.
