RPIpower · 07-18-2007, 07:03 PM

First comes the hip surgery....

Then new lungs...

The little guy is in recovery now and should be on the treadmill soon...

Eloy -

Can you come up with some better looking hoses? Those look like something off of a 1950's ShopVac. I'm thinking something metallic and shiny...

Nope. These are race hoses. The same ones used on F1 cars, NASCAR, etc. You already know...We aren't too concerned with the looks. Plenty of other vendors for that.

metallic and shiny dosnt ADD HP... besides metal holds heat longer then these fabrics... ill take POWER over bling.. looks great Eloy!!!!!!!

If you want some other stuff to go with that Shiny stuff i think your local PEPBOYS has a variety pack for like 5 bucks with all these HP adding items

I guess I am too "Old School"... To me, this looks sharp:

aggressiva · 07-18-2007, 08:14 PM

I wouldn't worry about looks either,performance first

I like that cobra btw.

RPIpower · 07-18-2007, 08:20 PM

Nothing wrong with shiny...its just not our concern. This car is tracked so we dont recommend putting that shiny stuff on there. We've already seen how the "shiny" pipes perform at streets of willow.

Sharp doesn't win races, I have no glamour on my LS7, but it can rip when I put the spurs to her.

**JohnD** · 07-18-2007, 08:35 PM

Yeah, I hear you guys. I don't race, so I don't care about absolute, maximum HP. I'd rather have decent HP that looks nice for all the times when I am not on the track...

If you want more power, then more power to ya!

Well spoken my friend

RPIpower · 07-18-2007, 09:05 PM

As long as the work is clean. Race doesnt need to be "hack job" either. In many cases, its not even absolute maximum power. Its about doing what will increase performance or doing something outright for looks only. We race, and our customers race, so we do what mods it takes to win or to be faster than the other person.
