Thanks for the review! I am a little disappointed that you lost some low end tourque, but the car is a Grand Tourer, and benefits from midrange power. I think I'll hold off for a bit because if anything, I want more low end power. It doesn't help matters that my other car is a 69 charger with a 440 six pack. It has like 400+ lb/ft of tourque! My little D' engine just can't compare. I did take it to the exhaust shop today for some repairs. Previous Owner backed into a curb and broke some stuff. Local shop was excited to work on it and will do custom fab and new, stainless tips for $120! Have fun with the DMCH system and keep us posted as it "settles in" Matt 16076 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, kjc <ckevinj@xxxx> wrote: > First drive: > wow-- this is loud!
