Corvette Central has bolt up Magnaflows with either L98 or LT1 tips. We just put a pair on an 88 and it sounds nice. It's actually very quiet for having aftermarket mufflers. In a month or so headers, y pipe and a random tech cat will go on. We will find out then how loud it's going to get. Oh we put a new rear ypipe on as well.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell customers, do not nickel and dime your power add ons. Save your money for quality improvements that will make a difference. Also, as already suggested too, have a plan. For instance, why are you keeping or adding the 4+3? Is your current trans going or gone and you need something to go down the road? I hope you're not swapping a 4+3 into the car. That would be a bad move in my book.

Also, if your money is starting to burn a hole in your pocket, don't go crazy with dress up items that everyone else has. Step back and take a look at things and see what you can do yourself with a little imagination, some time, and a whole let less money. Spray paint is cheap and looks great when applied correctly.

Oh and for a radiator, I sell DeWitts for $460 for your car. If you really want one, I'll see what I can do about the pricing, just let me know.

I would think a creative artist would be all over that. The foreign exchange girls in our college dorm were.

Regardless, you took the piss out of someone cause a girl drove them around. Your personality wont be measured on what vehicles you do have. It will however be measured on your attitude, and laughing at someone else simply cause a girl went to pick them up on a night out is really poor taste. If i were her, youd have almost blown your chances right there.

Dood, shes probably thinking "Why can't he paint the house for his Mom and fix his own car?"

I've never been to Sushi so can't say anything about that town. Maybe a nice restaurant with exotic and interesting food. Gawd, what ever you do, don't take her to one of those Asian places that serve fish bait!

Honk if this helps you.....

Get her blood pumping with adrenalin, find a GoKart track in your area. It's fun like hell, only drawback you'll have to let her win or

I just came back from a drive with my top removed. I rarely, rarely drive with it in. That also however means that from mid-October through mid-March it rarely leaves the garage.

Fortunately I have a company car (Magnum) so I don't have to commute in my vette.

I am also fortunate that I live around the Seattle area and from about late May until early September it is 65-80 degrees almost every day with a few puffy clouds, a light breeze and no humidity to speak of. Perfect targa weather!

As far as removal and installation, I am a very big...uh, thick guy. I'm about 6' and 335lbs. I have the rechargeable black & decker screwdriver with the T45 bit and it takes about 2 minutes to bolt it on or unbolt it. With my size and ballast I have no trouble putting it in the cargo area, I do have the solid top by the way.

The only issue is that if you are attempting to re-install the top you have to have the vehicle on very very level ground. It's okay if it is uphill or downhill but all four corners of the car need to be on a level horizontal plane. Unfortunately because the car flexes so much if you have one or more tires below the others it changes the dimensions of the opening relative to the top of the windshield and the rollhoop. The dang thing just won't line up well enough to sink the bolts in.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

What I really need is some help locating an AFSB bar from any manufacturer.
