Morning all.

Congrats Dustin on the weight loss. I need to get started on my own weight loss.

Like Keith I have snow today, but not as much as him. Heading out in a few to play.

Morning Mod Mike, having fun playing GT5.

Morning Space. Last day of November. Seems life is moving to quickly for me.

Morning Ryan, Dave, and Mod Michael.

Morning Justin, have fun at work.

Morning JJ, looks like some one broke the desert heater. Hope the Palms don't all die.

Morning All.

2nd cup of java... Brain at cruising speed now. Work work work...

Mike, sounds like you're having almost too much fun with GT5. I sometimes really regret buying an XBox last year instead of a PS3. I got the XBox so I could play online w/my son; he already had an XBox. I hate supporting Microsoft; they earn way too much $ for poorly designed products. I've always been a PS fan and LOVE the GT series. I'm bummed that it's not available for XBox...

Trying to stay dry today. WICKED storms rolled through last night, continued until just the last hour or so. Good thing my old car has new tires.

Yeah, it is the same here as northern AL. I personally like the rain, just not when it means temperature dropping dramatically.

The PS3 was the last system I bought of the 3, lately it's been the one I've been playing the most, so it was a good gift

I finally got the video posted on youtube, the link to it is in my flowmaster pic/video thread.
Ill get better audio later, but you'll get the idea already.

The performance has increased a bit. I can't drive in the rain without spinning tires at 1/8 throttle anymore. With the magnaflows I could.
Sparky, id definately suggest the flowmaster setup for your wifes monte, its much quieter inside and you can remove all resonators and still not have a noise problem.
from inside, it sounds a bit louder than stock, but I can still hear the engine over the exhaust where I couldn't before.

Thanks, Dustin. So it seems you have more power with the Flowmasters vs. Magnaflow? Interesting... Seems almost like a crap shoot when trying to figure out which exhaust system / muffler is 'better' than another. Lots of different opinions. But anything is better than restrictive stock exhaust.

When the weather clears you need to add a nice vrooom vrooooom or maybe a drive-by clip to your You Tube video/audio!
