Damn, that looks brutal. Hope you are OK.

Looks like the coyotes are dropping like flies now...


My biggest gripe is that the ABS system on the base GT is crap, stupid Chevy Cruze I hit was able to stop faster than my mustang with supposedly better brakes, and I had the pedal all the way to the floor

Sucks. Good that you're ok.

Once ABS kicks on, that means the brakes & tires are at max stopping performance. It probably was the crap OEM Pirellis that was the limiting factor.

Fixed.

That fucking stinks, too. I would have had my lawyer on speakerphone before the cops even got there and spent some money on billable hours simply to cover my ass from somebody trying to litigate something as simple as an accident into a major headache later.

Starting cleaning it up for winter tonight and ordered some stuff:

BMR LCAs
BMR Adjustable Panhard
BMR Panhard Brace
Matte Black 5.0 Badges

Look forward to seeing and reading what you do as time goes by.

I suppose winter has hit up North now.

Yup, 6-8 inches of snow already on Monday
I have not been in touch with Brenspeed in a few weeks I wonder if the weather is the same for Pierceton, IN.

More than likely it probably is.

One of these weeks when the car of mine is completed I'll have to figure out how to get it back down South.

It may be that I foot the cost of them delivering it in their enclosed trailer.

I'm not going to drive it back in snow or all the crap they put down on the roads up there.

Been there and done that.

I've got the fr500s! Completely drone free. You'll love em.

Thanks, how was the install? I'd like to try it myself but I don't have a driveway (I live in DC). Are you running just the mufflers?

I've got ARH long tubes and an o/r prochamber, so mine is loud lol. I had just the fr500s before. I didn't put them on, but I can tell you it's not that hard to get the mufflers on as long as you can get the mufflers that are on there off. There's plenty of videos on YouTube how to do it. It should be a 2 hour job or so depending how fast you work.

Wish you would have waited about a week and I could have saved you 15% and free shipping on the BMR parts....

The install is stupid simple. You'll want to have a Dremel on hand for a little weld spot on each muffler to remove them, but other than that, it couldn't be simpler. I'd just use a set of ramps and back the car onto them.

How much louder would you say it is than stock?

Well I'm both stupid and simple, so maybe I'll be able to do this after all haha
