Hot Pipes and Pin Stripes
I purchased my first car at the age of 16 on a cold day in January. She was a 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe, which I managed to pick up in an estate auction for just under $2,000, and she is still my daily driver to this very day. Before the purchase, the process of searching for this my first car lasted nearly a year, during which time my father taught me the ins and outs of shopping used.
Exhaust makes all the difference – A fast-sounding and great-looking Mustang with an original straight six.
I checked out many makes and models of cars, test-driving each to get a feel, and it was not long before I realized the car would have to be a classic or nothing. Though I was not sure at the time what I would end up with, there was one requirement that I had to adhere to by order of my parents: no V8s.

Flowmaster’s Clever “Show Us Your Flow” Video Contest
One of the reasons that I created ExhaustVideos.com was because I noticed on TundraHeadquarters.com how Tundra owners would watch videos before buying an exhaust system, and I wanted to try and create a site where you could find videos for a specific make and model to make the buying process as easy as possible. To that end, we’ve cataloged a few hundred videos by make and model with plans to catalog many, many more.
While we’re busy writing up more models (getting ready to add a couple dozen new pages to the site very soon), Flowmaster has done a very smart thing and announced a video contest. The rules are very simple: Upload a video of your Flowmaster or Hushmaster muffler, then send us a link. If you win the weekly contest, you get a hat and t-shirt. If you win the monthly contest, you get a new exhaust system. If you win the annual contest, you get a free trip to SEMA! Nice, right?
Here’s the video they put together promoting the contest and the first couple of winners: Read more
