aNAlUBé, a tribute profile Options

[akamiami]

In the vein of what xian and gsx are doing, I'm whoring a thread of my own to sing the praises of my UNBREAKABLE DSM!!!! It's like bruce willis on unbreakable. absolutely nothing phases this monster, not 7k rev launches, crazy quick downshifts, curbs, 89 octane fuel, bad language, conventional oil, leaded diesel fuel....NOTHING! MWA HA HA!


Right now I'm welding in a roll cage. There is a pic on my garage profile.

Also, the speed glass is installed and is sooo sweet. The rear window is already scratched to hell and it's like having tint but not the type of tint that blocks any of the sun, just the effect of it where you can't see out the rear view window very well because it makes it seem like you've got cataracts and everything is blurry and indistinguishable. I guess next time I'll try saran wrap since I've never seen that stuff scratch or crack and it's very flexible.

The speed holes and custom license plate are rather fancy and I think add style to the ride that was lacking. Now it's a venerable show car, and as soon as the faux fur steering wheel cover and neon dash trim kit arrive, I'll go pimp the car show scene like I do the local junior highs. That's right all you pre-teen honeys out there. I'm 24 and I've got a drivers license. Wanna ride to the orthodontist to get your braces tightened? No problem, I'm all 'bout that shi-at.

not gonna let this thread die....

I've become increasingly aware over time that the exhaust on the GSX is just plain loud and now I'm past the whole 'coolness' of it and gotten over how neat it is to hear a loud raspy exhaust particularly when driving under overpasses or in tunnels (yes, my car will fit in moushon's anal passage and sounds pretty deep in the process).

anywho, as a solution, I've decided to augment my exhaust with not one but two straight through resonators. They are 3" inlet/outlet with a perforated core as opposed to louvered, which would have further reduced noise but at the cost of perhaps a psi or two of unwanted backpressure. I chose two because I really really want this thing quiet, not just a little tame. You've got to agree, a huge exhaust pipe on a turbo dsm sounds good, but it doesn't compare to the whistle of a high psi turbo spool.

The resonators should be arriving soon, and I'll be well documenting the install process with before and after video/sound clips of the exhaust along with more information on the parts and processes used.
