Sounds decent for an old tractor, you have to pay extra to make the brakes sound like a bus.

That exhaust sounds great imo. Would like to hear it idle stationary with a little throttle play. :roll:

That one stiff bottom lip.

Sounds wicked though! How is the drone at cruising speeds? I dig it!! :up:

EDIT: PS: What size piping is that coming off your headers on the front section of the exhaust? That exhaust sounds awesome.

It doesn't have any drone, actually quiet at cruising speed. 2" tubing at the downpipes. I was hoping it would shoot a flame out the exhaust in the video.

Very nice build, picked up some ideas ( Should try on a mk1 golf's duckbill ). God i love euro e28 with US grilles and lights, if i'd only get hands on some.

Thanks, I'm liking it too... The only thing I don't like is having to be mindful of how low the front lip is.

Can't wait to see the black bumpers, wonder how it will look. Are you planning on running fog lights or the black block off plates?

Flame throwers ;)

I will probably make some metal filler panels or something that takes a bunch of time.
