No kidding! I'd like to buy the handling pack and power pack from FRPP

 

Send Shaun (of Rehagen Racing, don’t recall his TMS handle) on here a PM asking for a quote – they offer a nice discount to TMS members like us for a complete installed FRPP handling package plus Steeda adjustable panhard bar (I notice FRPP lists such a panhard bar for 2011, but does not yet provide any details). Best of all is the idea of meeting them at a racetrack on their tour and having them install the whole thing all at once – for less than my local guy quoted me. Shotzy on here had it done and he loves it & spoke highly of Rehagen. I am thinking of meeting them at VIR.

 

Thanks for the tip Eric! His name is Stinger 1982? on here I believe. I hope they're coming to fontana or willow springs then that would be doable...

 

The S-Type sounds the best and the ATAK sounds just like muffler deletes. I need a muffler that sounds good and not blow your eardrums loud with an O/R X pipe. I have to say after seeing this video, I feel the Flowmaster Hushpowers sound better, less crackling and popping. They are also way cheaper... hmmm I do like the S-types though

 

I still think out of all of them that the Stainless Works system sounds the best. Too bad they are so proud of it though.

 

I asked a local Ford Racing supplier in my area this is what he wrote me about the price difference.

The difference is the kit that we sell for $699 is complete T-304 stainless constructions.

The M5230MGTCA1 for $309 is a aluminized kit(don't be confused this is NOT stainless and will rust)

Thanks

in for later

 

thanks Joe, I'll wait till the prices on the stainless come down

 

Two points. First: the FRPP site says it's "aluminized stainless steel". Whichizzit guys? I am guessing it's yet another example of their stellar webmaster's skill.
Second: I've had lots of aluminized stuff in the past, and on my daily driver Datsun pickup, it seemed to last forEVer. On my garaged Corvette, the aluminized exhausted never lost its sheen at all. So aluminized isn't crap. That said, stainless is all I want to put on my $41K MSRP car, that's for sure.

 

I’m hearin ya. I had the same concept on my 1972 Corvette convertible for years and it was sweet music. But I gotta share this with you: the “muffler” sections on SW’s 2011 setup are much shorter than I had on my ‘vette. What changed my mind was finally listening to SW’s video with my Sony headphones on (not their “Racing” system, but their chambered setup, so I had the correct video), and it was just too frickin’ LOUD. I really don’t want to live with that given my usage of this car. If it was more occasional then maybe I’d put the SW Chambered back into play.

Just be sure you get some good headphones and listen to a lot of video before you leap. Just sayin’.

 

The one issue you run into is video and audio on the net doesnt properly convey the sound quality quite like hearing it in person. So its all a crap shoot unless you hear what you want before hand IMHO.

 

S-Type sounds the best to me, from that vid.

 

Based on a poll among my co-workers today, it appears it’s mostly the younger folks who prefer the S-Type & the Atak, whereas we older types (who were actually alive in the ’60’s) prefer the big-block sound of the Touring. One older co-worker (well into his ‘50’s and a car guy) remarked that the S-Type sounded like a “ricer”. Just sharing, don’t hate.

 

lol
I can't speak for the new S-Types on the 5.0s as I've not heard it in person, but I have S-Types on my 4.6L and there is nothing ricey about them.

4.6L w/ Stingers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fybGI669TUY&hd=1

 

The touring reminds me of the old s-types on the 4.6

For me it's either touring or atak. Don't really like the new s-type.

 

S-Type here I come!

 

They are ANYTHING but.

Even sounds of the 4.6 don't give it justice on a youtube video.
Stingers all the way.

I'd get stingers and the side-exit-H off the BOSS to complete the package

 

So S-Type = Stingers?

Think they were my pick of the 3

 

Yeah, they were known as Stingers pre05.
In 05 they named the axleback S-Type

 

Cheers Boomer.......Stinger sounds better.......but not as good as Stinger's sound on the 5.0.....if you know what I mean
