YOU GOT IT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Yeh Steve thanks for the original idea of 'Tru-Duals'...Great.!!~ Now to the point. Who are the shops doing this around Detroit ? I have NYKicks car in the shop...if I had a dollar for every 'sooty' pinhole in the welds I'd be worth a mint ! may want to add, to whoever puts your system on that there needs to be a join in both pipes so the the front subframe can be dropped without taking down the whole damm system...bad design whoever did this one...final point , the welds are VERY bad ,in some parts incomplete runs, this will have to be corrected before it goes back on.You guys are spending a lot of cash on these (Nice Bullet mufflers!) pity about the welds....

Terry Dougs muffler does some of the best work around they have done atlest 4 tru duals on tours now but he does all kinds of work on tons of cars. I dont know what guy your talking about. or whos car the exhuast system is on. tell me whos car your talking about anr ill let you know if doug did the work.

Doug Jr. did nynickssvt's car, I was there shortly after they finished it. Doug was really in a hurry that day, I hope that is the only reason behind it.

Terry, I had the idea of doing it, your expertise(sp?), knowledge of the plumb work of the 'Profile' system made it happen.

Oh, I am kinda delayed on the Bulldog. Getting finalized on a house.

And to everyone, if you noticed sparatic moments when I comment negatively or off the wall, don't mind me, I have slight manic depression... Have a nice day.

Oh and when we get the house... BIG house warming party at Chineseman's house!!

Tery, Ricky's car was originally done somewhere else, Doug just added the bullets for him. Generally Doug does an awesome job, when we don't rush him.

I think he must have been rushed as the Bullets are the main issue, no prob, whole system is off the car and will be done as the car will be here for a while with a 'grenaded dif' and an 'air-conditioned' trans case!!!.NOW who says they dont need a Quaife Eh!....I'd think long and hard about trans upgrades guys before you 'head to the strip' or try that second burnout on Woodward with a stock trans...I'm here...bit like the old Frame ad....Pay me now or pay me later...the 'smashed diff gallery ' is getting bigger every week!

To elaborate on Terry's point, the main problem in the exhaust is the part that Dougs did (around the new Bullet mufflers). Now, I can't say the same for every car that comes out of there, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look at the job he does...especially the top side that is just below the body. The rest of my exhaust system was welded much better since it was done by the team that builds Ford prototype cars including all the nice racing SC and TC Focuses.

My exhaust got much louder with a small exchange in mufflers. I would bet that some of that came from the substandard welds I got at Dougs. Life goes on, I'll fix the welds, but as a friendly hint, check your welds and make sure you get what you pay for.

Happy Holidays everyone and all the best for the new year.

i drove about 45 mins to have doug plumb me up a single system. it came out really nice and i painted the whole thing with black 1500* manifold paint too....
