I have always wanted one like that. And I got to chose between one or headers and a cutout.... I chose to make more noise. Both of them cost North of 1k so I decided to put the hood on the back burner for a bit and wake up the neighborhood haha

Thanks Zack 4 your reply...Yes, it seems like some great mod's cost Big $'s & every owner has to decide what is best for them...Maybe `if U R good `Santa will get you a new custom Hood

Now with your new loud Hot Rod sounding Monte S.S. your neighbors will be knocking on your door >(LOL)>

I figured the route I went I could get more done for the money. I made a thread in the general section you should check it out and see what you think. I am pretty sure my neighbors already want to kick me out of the neighborhood haha

I now have about 116000 miles on the monte now. The car is doing pretty decent as of recently. I had some maintenance done as far as the suspension but that's about it.

sludge in cooling system is probably due to Dexcool coolant,drain, flush,replace with regular green antifreeze,run for a while then repeat! Dexcool is called "Death cool" for a reason!! chemically breaks down plastis and rubber parts!!
