Looks really nice man. It will look even better without the stripes. you should debadge as well. Can't wait to see it all tinted and "wheeled" up. Lots of pics please!

$325 is a great price for a cat-back system. I can see now why you chose that one. Of course, they don't offer one for my Monte though! :(

I didn't know you had a Chevelle. What year is it? Any pics up anywhere? I don't see it listed on the CarDomain page for your Monte.

Good looking car, but my first impression was that those stripes on the sides/doors have to go. Not sure how you feel about those.
Have you checked the actual gas mileage? That trip computer in my Pace Car shows consistently 2.5-3 mpg better than it actually does when you divide the miles driven by the gallons put in. Regardless, I'd be pretty happy with the fuel mileage and 300 horsepower.

Congrat's on the new ride. Very sweet! I had the chance to drive one a few weeks ago and was heartily impressed with both performance and gas mileage. I achieved high 20's over 300+ miles of city/highway driving. Much better than I was expecting.

Enjoy! (Like I even have to say that...)

Thanks, and I will. I guarantee it.

Thanks! Tape stripe delete is probably happening tonight, but I actually like the tri-bar pony emblems on the side. They're staying for now. I'll be sure post pictures as it comes along.

That's what I was thinking, when I saw the regular price of $400 I was sold. The $75 back just sweetened the deal.
The '69 Chevelle SS was my dad's. He passed away in 2005.

Thank you! The stripes are gone tonight. I personally haven't checked the MPG's manually, but from what I've read on the Mustang Forums the DIC calc is actually conservative and manually doing it usually nets 1-2 better than displayed.

Looking at it always makes me miss him.

Nice looking car and without those stripes and with your wheels will be very sharp. Then add the window tint and you're cruising. The side window louvers are relativbely cheap. I got mine on Ebay when I had the 05 and they came painted to match. Improves looks alot. Good luck with it and I hope you are happy now!

Thank you, I'm very happy now!! :D As far as the window louvers go, I'm not a fan. I have other things in mind though.

Thank you!! I took it all off. So just about anything I did that wasn't from the factory I'll have for sale. I just haven't gotten around to taking pictures and putting a For Sale section thread together. Stay tuned.
