Well, If you dig deep enough around the net, you'll find out that I'm an ex-Navy avionics tech and an amateur pilot.
I've got some buddys that have retired from various branches of service, (basically all of them except the Army) and are now flying aircraft that are a little less exciting for American Airlines and Delta.
I was doing a walk-around on a Cessna 172 before a flight and I hear this HUGE powerful engine coming down the taxiway. I look up and see this beautiful P-51 come up and shut down right next to me.
Being a nice guy, I put some chocks under its main gear as the pilot gets out. We strike up a conversation and come to find out that he is part of the Air Museum down at the end of the airport. He's just getting some AVgas. I look at this incredible piece of machinery and start to think: hmmmm, Mustang.....
One thing led to another and before I knew it, our car club was giving a donation to the museum and we were getting P-51 pics!
As far as the mufflers are concerned.... there's a little secret...
I was out of town for a while but I wanted to have a cat-back system put on. So I had my wife take it down to my friends at Dallas Mustang to put on a Dynomax catback on while I was away. Well, I got back, it sounded great and I drove it around for almost 2 years when we were putting in my Tremec and I noticed nothing on the muffler said Dynomax.... So I called Mike at DM and he tells me that the order was put in for a MAC cat-back, not Dynomax. Well, I'm NEVER going to say my wife messed up but I always wondered how I got such a good price on the cat-back!!
Well, the MAC system sounds just the way I like it and has held up good, so I kept it. I've just never gotten around to changing the mod entry.... Thanks for reminding me! hehe
