Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
On a car related note, Spencer bought me a pair of stainless steel Borla mufflers for Father's Day. Bless his heart. He knew that those Purple Hornies were rattling my brain and keeping me from driving the Barracuda as much as I'd like.
Despite his good intentions, he ordered the incorrect ones for my car. The ones that arrived had a 3&1/2" inlet. I sent them back to JEGS and ordered ones that should fit. He's coming back home next week and we'll be installing them then. Before we do he wants to record video of the sound of the 'Cuda with the Hornies on it, - then make a second recording of the car with open headers, - and finally a third recording of it with the new Borla exhaust. I'll post them when I get a chance.

That will be interesting to hear the difference. I ran into a young guy in the parking lot at Sherwin Williams with a SRT with a Borla system. We struck up a conversation about Mopars (he knew nothing about any except the new generation stuff) and he started his car for me and revved it a few times. It was pretty loud and throaty at the higher rpms, actually hurt my ears a bit. Seemed pretty docile at lower rpms, or at least that's the story I am sticking to!
