The Last BRAND NEW SSS Muffler...installed!

[Dreamcast18]

Many thanks to Jay for walking me thru the steps of getting this 'custom' SSS muffler installed. It was his persistence that made me 'forced' the muffler folks to follow his instructions of NO WELDING to get it done :bows:bows:bows

Needed alot couple of extra steps to use the stock clampers, but Orange Grove Mufflers came through, especially with a 'stuck' clamp.

Here's the LAST SSS Muffler...brand new in orignal plastic wrapper!

With Pepe's Stinkin' Tips...what a lethal combination! :tu:

Both Prowlers are now officially SSS-ed!

Looks good DC but I bet it sounds even better!

[Pepe]

An absolute PURR-FECT picture report DC - THANKS ....... and CONGRATS !! :tu:

[Dixie Cat]

You'll love the SWEET SMOOTH & SASSY sound!! but of course I'm a little prejudiced. ;-)

Thanks for the thanks to Jay! :tu:

Wow - Jay really is the man. After seeing those pictures I can't believe that Jay helped me install the muffler all by myself (well with his help and guidance), with just driving it up on ramps and using ratchets and I think a hammer.

To really enjoy some of the unique sound, try driving where the sound will echo a bit, walled streets or underpass, and then down shift and punch it. That or as you are slowing down, go with the downshift and listen to the low rumble kick in.

This "last SSS" was custom built by Jay for a customer whom had previously modified his stock pipes and need a weld-on version of the highly acclaimed SSS.

The "original" SSS was an out of the box, slip on installation... much easier without ANY modification, even the muffler guy who did the installation for the Black Prowler was saying he remembered the non-modified version was so much less work to deal with.

Jay's da man!

[Krzy Kat]

Damn - I hope that muffler lasts 10 years ... what will all of us do if it goes out? :cry2:

Jay where are you man, we need you. Retirement can't be that fun, let's see some new ideas from you.

[Dreamcast18]

We might have to go with Borlas if that ever happens :-?

Super job DC :tu:. I know SkanKat must really appreciate it. I hope you bought some Gatoraid for those 3 guys in the Blue Shirts, especially the one using the saw.. Were they cussing you as you drove off?:rll:

[Krzy Kat]

no...

your going to keep the stock one and drill it out ...:bash:

Stock went in the dumpster outside Jay's shop in Florida.

[halicat]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

Have you ever heard the drilled out stock muffler ?

anyone ?
if so, how does it compare with the SSS ?

I had the Borla so i know that difference ..

[Krzy Kat]

Thanks Buddy! I'm usually NOT a difficult customer.The mechanics were the last to leave the whole shop 'mall' that evening and since I don't know much spanish, I'm really not sure what they were saying as I drove away! :biggrin:
