Haha funny but i never use WOT on this car driving, this was just for a soundclip, my stock air cleaner with the K&N does the job just fine

and i don't like the sound of straight through mufflers I got this muffler cause it's chambered and still produces a nice amout of backpressure, there's a reason this post is in the OFF TOPIC part of the forum because I just was curious about how it sounded to you guys i know some of ya are still muscle car people at heart
