Well I finally got my new side pipes back from the powder coater and they turned out very nice. I got so excited that I put them on in my 38 degree shop. I talked to Fred Hamilton and he shared my excitement and said that he would be over after work to give them a listen. Fred liked the sound of the pipes in the garage and I insisted that he here them under load. This is where things get interesting.
For those of you who do not live in Washington, you will think we're crazy. You see, we still have snow on the road and it has been well below freezing for a week. Most of the main roads were clear with snow in the turn lanes. Long story short we toured around Puyallup in the Cobra with know top in sub freezing temps. We got lots of thumbs up and strange looks along the way. At one point I thought that I had frost bite on my ears. Bottom line is that it was a day I will not soon forget and the pipes sound incredible!
