I am back from Cancun!

Thank you Art for the exhaust system!

As to Dan's question...some time in the near future (once I get the Corvette back together), I plan on taking some sound measurements to see if running the crossover tubes will make an appreciable drop in exhaust noise entering the cabin.  In short, make the car quieter so that it is more girlfriend-friendly ;)

I would essentially be running an OEM cat-back set up hooked up to my crazy build.  To deal with the heat I will have all pipes coated with the same coating I used on the headers (because they work!) http://swaintech.com/race-coatings/race-coating-descriptions/white-lightning-exhaust-coatings/  the key feature to note is that this is a true ceramic coating that is .015" think as opposed to the paint type coatings that are only .002" thick.

Based on if the sound drop is enough I can always add some muffler inserts around the H-pipe section.  We'll see how it goes...but this project is months down the road...I just wanted to get parts for it in the meantime.

Hope to report back some good results.

I got you covered Anhtuan, you can have the complete OEM exhaust for half a tank of gas.

Awesome!  Thanks Art!  Let me know when is a good time for me to pick them up and I'll bring cash ;)  If weekends are good then I could come get it on Sat. the 20th (afternoon) if you are around.

Anybody got a pair of Gen 3 or Gen 4 used OEM resonators/mufflers I can have?  There is an experiment with my crossover tubes I want to try.  Free would be great, but I can kick in a little money if you are willing to let them go for cheap.  Thanks!

Porsche Club Gimmick Rally
November 2nd, 2013

The San Gabriel Valley Porsche Club is inviting us to join in their Gimmick Rally on Sat. Nov. 2nd.  The Gimmick Rally will be a photo/trivia rally with locations around Los Angeles that are somehow related to automobiles, aviation or aerospace.  No particular knowledge will be required and this will not be a competitive rally with stopwatches and odometers.  You will be given a list of locations (there will be more locations than you have time for) and you pick which ones and as many as you want to hit in the time allotted.  Generally you will be expected to take a photo at each location.  Photos are shared at lunch when prizes are given out.

Drivers with and without navigators are welcome as well as junior navigators.

This sounds like a lot of fun and something we can participate in for fun.
Check out their website for more info:  http://rallya3.wordpress.com/


Registration is now open   http://rallya3.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/svgr-rally-registration.pdf
Early bird registration is October 11th and will gain you extra points. Registration closes on October 28th!

Cost is only $20.00

The event begins at the Petersen Automotive Museum.  Check-in begins at 7:30am and all cars will head out at  8:30am.  The finish will be at Golden Road Brewing in Glendale.  The finish should be around the 12:30pm lunch time.

Posting this up as an event of interest in case any of our members wish to attend.

On June 20-22, Russo and Steele will be bringing highly collectable European Sports, American Muscle, Hot Rods and Customs to Newport Beach for their inaugural auction event.

Further event details can be found here: https://russoandsteele.com/index.php/newportbeach-auction

Members and a guest are invited with free passes though I am not sure if the deadline to get the passes have expired or not so you can give it a try. 

Here is a link to the registration page for free passes (good luck!) http://tinyurl.com/amerviper

Event promo code if you need it should be AMERVIPER

Hey gang...just a quick reminder as we are invited "guests of honor"...no speeding, revving, racing, or other bad behavior at Supercar Sunday and coming or going either.  We don't usually have this problem with our group, but I wanted to stress this since it is an event we are invited to.  Thanks!

VCA Members  -  Western Zone Rendezvous
