You guys won't believe me if I told you......I got real lucky on this one.....actually I did not want to replace my muffler when I first got my car since it had a aftermarket muffler on it.......found out for smog that the whole exhaust system had to be replaced since there were no cats on and one side was welded to the header directly from the muffler.......
so as fate has had it....Jon Martin knows everyone and his buddy alex who is the distributor of gruppe m in the US had this muffler sitting around for years...........he was planning to put it on his car but Mr. Gosei the founder/owner of Gruppe M said to sell it..........so Jon M told me about this muffler given my situation.........and he told me that there were only 3 in the world ever made.........the other two are in Japan.......and I am the only one in the US or anywhere to have one...........
the cost of this muffler was about $2800.00 plus two catalytic converters at $1250 each and DC headers at $1250 that I needed............so I spent around $7000.00 for my full exhaust!
...I also have the grupp m air filter with it $800.00.....and I love how it sounds!!!! I will post a clip and picture on the car when I get a chance.....thanks for the comments guys......=)
So far the total I have spent on mods on my car so far is around $30k or so but I am almost done as far as how I want the car to look..just a few more parts and I am done.....after this is doing the 3.8L stroker motor developed by John Martin.......and I will totally be done with my car....ta dah! and 50k later I am done :tongue: shoot me now!! :biggrin:
once again thank you jin, dave and osiris its been fun so far......you guys have pretty awesome cars yourself.........post some pics of your cars or link me to some pics.......I want to see :biggrin:
