With the JDM brands watch out for neck-downs at the cat. I had a Buschur "Quiet" Magnaflow system on my IX and the volume level was pretty decent for a 8/9; still loud by X standards though. The Perrin was a little smoother/quieter yet.
I think the one on display in the Cobb showroom is the catback for the viii/ix. I am using one now, pretty quiet compare to some of my fellow evos.

there's a cemetery here in McKinney that they say if you live within 5 miles of it, you can't be buried there.

Does anyone know why?

Anyone looking to get work done let me know, $100 referral bonus to me, and $100 referral bonus off your bill. I got quite a bit of work done by these guys today. My boss had them do his house last year and said he noticed a pretty substantial benefit on his electric bills this summer.

We had radiant barrier installed in the attic of our place in McKinney; it made a tremendous difference.

From: Tx,
My co worker who used to brew his own beer told me that they freeze this and separate the water to alcohol.





There’s a new contender for the world’s strongest beer. Scotland’s Brewmeister Brewery will be releasing Armageddon, a 65 percent alcohol by volume, or 130 proof beer at the Inverness Beer Festival this November.

The Guinness Book of World Records hasn’t certified Armageddon as the world’s strongest beer yet but Brewmeister has already slapped the “world’s strongest beer” title on its label. The Miami New Times reports that the BrewDog brewery, also from Scotland, is the current record holder. Oddly enough, BrewDog’s beer also references the end of the world. The End Of History beer has a 55 ABV.

Brewmesiter Brewery brewer (say that 10 times fast) Jon MacKenzie said:

“The beer has a viscous quality to it, due to the special freeze fermentation method we use to produce such a high alcoholic beer.”

CBS explains that the beer, made with crystal malt, wheat, flaked oats, and spring water, is frozen during the brew process in order to get a higher alcohol content. Freezing the beer allows the brewery to remove excess water since alcohol doesn’t freeze.

The world’s strongest beer will make its debut next month. Patrons at the Inverness Beer Festival will be able to take shots of the beer for about $8. A bottle of Armageddon will cost about $50.

And just for comparison’s sake, here’s a look at the ABV in other liquors.

Budweiser, 5%
Glass of red wine, 12%
Shot of whiskey, 40%
Armageddon, the world’s strongest beer, 65%

On a frog mat on a bacon lattice to help protect it from the heat (ya, that's the excuse for bacon )

Onto the smoker with seasoning (jerk on one side, another meat season on the other)

Out of the smoker (3 hours @ 185, 1 @ 250 until 150 IT)

Paired with some golden acorn squash (cut in half, clean, upside down in a pan with a bit of water @ 375 for 45 mins, flip over, butter and brown sugar, back into the oven for 15 minutes).

Mmmmm greatness. A good smoke ring and a great salty coating. The stuffing has a good mix of sweet and savory and helped to keep the meat juicier.

You can afford a GTR. You just choose not to afford a GTR. Subtle difference. Of course, that choice is what really separates the 1%... so you're half way there.
