How's it sound?

When I start it up, it goes on fast idle & is moderately loud, but when it idles down, it's quieter than the repro exhaust I have on the big block cars. Other than moving it around the driveway, I haven't driven it, but I am curious how it will sound when driving. It still needs an alignment, which I'll (try to) get ASAP. I'll take a video and see if I can get my son to post it on youtube.


Are those Dynomax Super Turbos?

Yes.
 
Tires and wheels are always a hot topic for opinions. I've gotten equal amounts of compliments and complaints about my own choices.
A man chooses to go stock, guys may say they look too skinny. If you go with an 18" or bigger setup, the purists think you should have stayed with a 15" wheel.
If we all built our cars to please others, none of us would be happy.
Your wheel and tire combination is spot on!! Actually, your whole car is spot on.
 
Car looks incredible, quick question on your car trailer. I see that yours has a stone/air dam on the front to protect the cars which is something that I'm thinking of adding to my new trailer. Are there any hidden drawbacks to having that on there?.

Obviously, I'll let RC provide his thoughts for his trailer.

My father-in-law's trailer, that I have used many, many times, has an air dam as well. In my opinion, there are two potential drawbacks:
1) If your trailer is not long enough, then a large vehicle may need to come forward beyond the air dam. I've never had that issue with my father-in-law's trailer though.
2) When a car is loaded, it is hard(er) to get under the front end of the car since the air dam blocks your way. This hasn't bee a big issue for me, but more of a minor annoyance.

Having said the above, I wouldn't want a trailer without an air dam. I believe it has done an excellent job of protecting cars that I have had on the trailer.

Thanks and none at all with the 18' length of this trailer bed. The car still has plenty of maneuvering room in front and no overhang in the rear.
