[Shotimes] Couple of questions

[Erik Balser]

Your car sounds exactly like my '95.  I recently replaced my radiator in the
last month or two, because you could see a steady dripping right from the
bottom of it.  Now the other day my low coolant light came on, and I haven't
noticed any coolant drips, so this is something I'm going to have to check
into.  Second point you brought up, sometimes (if you've been reading the
messages on the list) I have a problem starting, and it won't start at all
unless I floor the gas.  I think I'm going to take a fuel pressure reading
on that tonight, to see what's going on.  I also have the SS Y-pipe w/cats,
and got a Dynomax catback exhaust.  Love the y-pipe, but the Dynomax
cat-back is the biggest waste of money in my opinion.  In fact I just got
home from the exhaust shop a few minutes ago.  This is how my setup is
between the work done yesterday and today.  First we went with Flowmaster
mufflers, and they had a great deep tone that I was looking for, but as soon
as the RPM's get up there, it sounded VERY raspy.  So I had them order a few
different resonators and went back there today.  Had them take out the old
dynomax resonator and move it right after the y-pipe, and then I added a
second MagnaFlow resonator which was a bit larger, and had them put it in
the orignal resonator spot. Sounds quite nice now, and almost all the
raspiness is gone.  I'm going to try to get some sounds of it, and see if I
can get them up on my website.  Let me know if you're interested in hearing
it... good luck
