Re: Colorado Springs meet and greet anyone?

Play nice, now. They won't let you line up with a bike at the strip, with good reason. Don't do it on the street, either. Hope you didn't make him pedal too hard.

Re: 87 IROC 350 1st Camaro

From the factory, the y pipes were the same size, I believe, for 305 & 350. Same exhaust system. The last year for 4-bolt flange cats was 1985. They were slip-on since then.
