Ok so im a newb to AZ compared to some of you OG AZ'ers. Im sure most of the Avants on here have had their share of meets. I know there are a few out there but where in the hecj you guys at?
I have only seen one other at a GTG/meet.
I seen pics of that blue one dyno at like 300+HP.

Ummm... we have one comming up on 10/29 starting at 10am in Walnut Creek @ Broadway Plaza (Nordstrom garage, top lot far end by Macy's).
From there we are rolling to the old Alameda Naval Air Station for pics and some quick sprints down the old runway infront of the old hangers.
Come thru...
I myself probably might not make another meet till I or someone else trys to setup the trip to South Lake!

This is a Cherry Bomb (glass pack). Its a cheap muffler/resonator sold at your local Kragen, Pep Boys, etc... Its only like $15 - $25 per.
My thoughts on exhaust are, you are paying mostly for sound. Cherry Bombs sound good when installed right and on the right car. Sounds different on every car depending on the motor.
I basically went from a $300 to $700 to $150 Cherry Bombs on an RX-7 and got the same performance but different sound. The rotary engine is the loudest engine on the street and is hard to quiet down. Had to install 6 cherry bombs on a true dual exhaust to tame this motors exhaust note.http://www.worldaccessnet.com/~dcmurphy/620/620images/620sale/muffler.jpg

I think my next car will be a Advant - I've been highly thinking about it.
Btw I had cherry bombs on my Rx7... I was shooting flames too. They don't last long on a Rx7.

Oh, I know what it'll do this Sunday when I take it to Thunderhill for a track day. Currently it's only Stg 2+. But have the turbos at home from the Imola sedan waiting to be rebuilt bigger! I don't do the straight line thing. Hence the reason why I can't figure out which susp. to settle on..Non-Adj. Penske or Ohlin Motos....hmmmm. I'll see you guys at the GTG.

Excuse the poor pics...
Nothing special done yet...My wife drives it daily so so major mods on the horizon, decent suspension and S4 blades will be eventually fitted when the funds allow (my other car is sucking up my mod money)
Previous was a sedan...
