Went to the Gilmore Care Museum near Kalamazoo, Michigan (yes there is really a place called Kalamazoo). Some fellow 3.5 ecoboost owners from a message board I frequent were all planning on meeting up there, so I figured I'd join them. We got our own little area at the show, there were only 4 of us, but it was fun to hang out in the sunshine and talk about our cars.

The guy with the Explorer Sport had an aftermarket exhaust which sounded really good. From the downpipes he goes to 2.5 inch piping that goes into a 2x 2.5 in/out resonator from there it Y's into a 3 inch pipe to the back where it splits back out to 2x 2.5 and a couple of magnaflows. I'm told the exhaust in the GT-R is setup in a similar manner. In-as-far that it utilizes one larger-diameter pipe in favor of 2 smaller pipes all the way back.

Anyways, potato-pictures! (I'm the black SHO). The red one ran a 12.7-ish quarter mile on Friday evening with nothing but a tune.

Gilmore was a name in what is now IndyCar years ago. A.J. Foyt raced for him for years.

Hmm interesting, there was so much more to see there than I actually had time to, I'll have to get back there again some time.

My motto is "Always leave something unseen". That way you have a reason to go back.

Haha, that works! I didn't go into any of the indoor stuff, so there's that, plus, I'm sure there are different cars being exhibited all the time.

Thanks! I was a little embarrassed with how dirty my car was compared to the other guys. But it doesn't really show in the pictures :D

I think there was even some bird-shit remnants on there, :P
