Now.... the sound... it’s loud.... No drone at all...... but at partial to wot it’s excessively loud and not a tough or cool sound. Hmmmmm
full length hedman headers 2&1/2” pipe into 2 into 1 muffler, 1 2&1/2” tail pipe. No cats
thinking About adding a resonator tip
Get some 40" super swampers...and they will drowned out the exhaust.

Sorry things didn't work out Sunday, was looking forward to seeing the mean green machine in person. I'm just glad you were able to get everything, even though l was gone.

Yeah thanks Brian, I was hoping to meet you and see your 110 as well. I’m sure we’ll meet up one day.
you might of been disappointed as I drove the p38 over, it’s a little more comfortable and lots better on gas.
it averaged 17.7 mpg taking it easy.

I'm curious how this will hold up with some moderate to difficult off-roading. Also is it possible to say share an Iphones screen to it? I'm still leaning towards a RAM mount for my ipad mini for off-road navigation

@whowa004 if it is largely held by double sided tape then it all about the tape quality. I fly 400 series R/C helos and the gyro is held on by double sided tape, lots of flights 2 crashes and that gyro has never moved.

My thought is you could build a locking slide though, based on the stock design. My stereo still works, but I am considering something like this, at the price it is pretty hard to pass up.

@Richard Gallant, I have a newer kenwood head unit that is working fine and does everything I need it to. I think I'm going to stick with the ipad route as I can take it down and its not a visible thing for thieves which can be an issue since I only have street parking at my house.

It does mirror your phone, I haven’t had a chance to play with it too much yet, crazy busy, worked 15hrs yesterday and did Halloween after with the kids.
rc quality servo tape is super strong. I was even thinking of using shoegoo after I wire up the reverse camera, super solid yet I could remove it later if I wanted.
for the cost it’s a great radio I think.

I got up super early before the wife and kids and went and tore the 4.6 down to bare block, loaded everything up into the back of the p38 to take to the machinist. I’m away again for the next 2 weeks, I might just have him assemble the whole bottom end. He’s a performance guy, into racing, says he could do a simple port job for 200.00. Any thoughts if it’s worth it? I’ll be running a cam and headers.
