Yea, ive been to chima and fogo and liked the experience. The only thorn was that picanha in the northeast is just as good but half the price!

Yep, Picanha is damn good for the money. I liked the food at Fogo a bit more, but you can't argue with the price at Picanha. Something like $25 vs. $45 IIRC.

Chima is the one that opened somewhat recently. How did it compare?

The only thing chima has over fogo is posh. Your date may appreciate it, but I didnt.

$20 to the first person who knows the origin of the word posh without looking it up!

you guys should get a kick out of this. I finally figured out why my exhaust turn so loud and sounded like a morocca. I should have thought of this before I blew the welded seams apart the first time.

I dont mind some sound, but for evos I like *** bass and no rasp.. I have 20 different thicknesses of stainless wire mesh here at work, I'm gonna go coarse at the back and fine towards the end, mabye it will last alittle longer. Gives me something to do during the countless hours of dyno testing I am doing. Actually the 12 liter engine I was testing blew an IC pipe while I was doing this lol, it was quite loud. 25psi for 10 hours straight will yeild about 400F temps out of the turbo, but the air/water IC maintains and keeps intake manifold temps under 110

When's the 4" going on?

How can we make that intercooler setup work on our cars?

I bet your muffler is even worse, it looked like it had less volume then the cobb

I have been running this exhaust for like 5yrs now. I cleaned it out and it was mostly powder and chunks of powder.. I'ma pack that **** TIGHT!

so how would you classify mine. i remember you commenting after each dyno pull about all the racket it made. i'm guessing that's not your taste.

I know you like to stand up for R/T, maybe they are nice guys ... but their business practices are a bit scummy.



They charge more because they assume most people don't know the difference.

I'd like to know where you go.

Me and james used to talk about this like everyday. I think that double magna flow buschur exhaust that that guy has a thread on is the best way to do it. Unfortunately it's probably a grand for all of that. I just want an oval muffler cat back with a resonator, that should do the trick.
