I just got back a little chunck of change that represents overpayment of CT state tax from my NY dealer where I bought my Baby back in January. If I have to say anything about it, read EVERY page you are asked to sign at the closing. Sales tax was mis-calculated on only ONE of the pages (got taxed at full purchase price, did not get credit for my trade in). :mad2: I feel lucky the dealer caught it and submitted the request on my behalf. I wuz totally not paying attention....
ANYWAY, I gotta spend it (the refund)! Nice little kick in the a** considering I used the funds for the car anyway...so the way I see it I have to re-invest!!!!!:D
I'm going to grab a tune from one of the two TOP Marauder tuners/supporting vendors here (not gonna start debate on which one).....I am actually looking forward to the tranny shift improvement almost more than the HP boost....
AND...I wanna throw on a set of Super 40's. More than one of my new 'Rauder friends sounded GREAT a couple weekend's ago up on the 'Pike. I think exhaust was the reason. I'm just looking for a LITTLE more noise (have to drive my boss around every now and then...don't want to look too much like a loose cannon...he already has no concept as to why I bought it...calls the car the "Interceptor" more than anything else).
Can't swing the $$ or labor (do it yerself type) just yet for the whole header and x-over pipe stuff, but for my capabilities and infastructure I can do a nicer set of mufflers (plus it rounds off the complete burn off of my refund!!).
To make a long story longer....I know I'm gonna support one of our site supporting vendors for the tune.....do we have a favorite Super 40 source?? Mail order or a New England favorite??
Sorry if I'm cross posting...looking for regional ideas (CT) but if anybody can chime in on a favorite source 4 the mufflers I'd like to follow suit.... :) ...
Best regards...and here is hoping you are having better Marauder weather than me right now...

PS: Been searching and reading the forum for both the tune and mufflers....but a muffler search is pretty hard to clarify on the site...I'm not trying to repost a call for info on something that's been dicussed a 1000 times!!!!!!!! Thx...
