the pimpness. No one will suspect a 73 Camaro either. I hope you keep the exhaust quiet and hide those big tires. ---

> [@Darkstar](#): > > the pimpness. No one will suspect a 73 Camaro either. I hope you keep the exhaust quiet and hide those big tires. Thanks to the mini-tubbing (which I mostly did) and custom front subframe (probably going to need a lot of work on the inner fenders though) the tires will be fully under the body. The exhaust will be about as quiet as we can get it. It’ll have boost-actuated cutout(s) to open it up in boost conditions but most the time it’ll be pretty mellow. It’s not really getting a “lope” cam since it’s a turbo motor so at idle and cruise it should be pretty under-cover. 🙂 -TJ ---
