They put a end to that years ago.  Instead of food stamps it's all on a card now.  To many people were trading food stamps for other things of interest here in WV.  True story.    When my Dad was still living, he had a used car lot and once took a couple blocks of gov cheese in on trade as a down payment on a car.  He loved that shit.  Said you can't buy any cheese that's this good.  I thought Mom was going to die laughing when he walked in the house with it telling us how he got it.

Sound?
Performance?

Can anyone comment? I'm about to throw my Muzzys in the trash. The packing is not good and the left muffler canister is resting on top of the diff bracket which is about to wear a hole in the canister. The Muzzys sound amazing, they look badass, and help with the power, but I am not impressed with the overall execution.

sound is better..as far as performance i switched motors at the same time so its hard to tell if i lost any...i would settle for a little loss cause i like the quieter sound and less fumes in the cab...1100 miles on the alba already     

I think it sounds a little quieter with a way diferent tone while just riding around.  More like a stock with tip kinda tone.  Doesn't sound as bad ass as the muzzys while cruising around.  Wide open, it sounds mean and loud.  I will have it on mine one day.  I like it because it's quieter until you hammer on it. 

Chris, I got out ahead of the pack while some others were trying to get under a tree limb.  I stopped and shut the engine down.  That's when I heard James bringing it through the woods like a madman.  One of the most awsome sounds I've ever heard.  It echoed through the woods so much that you couldn't tell what direction it was coming from.  Not the deep part throttle car like rumble that the muzzys have, but it does sound very powerful when the pedal is mashed.  I think you would like it.

i never drive fast!!...lol....i cut my gas pedal off on the bottom so i could shove it on the floor farther...lmao...true story

I have been emailing nate about his exhaust. Also my muzzys have been great after I got a pipe fitment issue resolved on the right canister. but no packing to screw with and all that make the alba very appealing as well. 

I was asking him on sound and what not to muzzys w/whisper cores. this is what he said


They will be substantially louder than muzzys with the whisper cores in.


 2-3 db over stock at idle and cruise. At 50% throttle 20 some inches from the muffler it is just below 100db. It does however send all the noise out the back rather than into the cab like systems that terminate under the bed.


I'm still thinking about doing it, just gotta wait. but thats what I've found out so far.
