Whoever gets it.. let me know and I'll fire off the instructions etc...

mooty · 03-26-2009, 04:04 AM

fc-racer got it.
i'll see you (alex) tomorrow and have it boxed up to go.
fc, you will love it. other than my BSR, this is the best sounding exhaust. you can't drive my BSR on street, it's close to 100db.

Good another Canadian (that will make James happy!)... Good seeing you today and I never though I'd see the day when Mooty was in a Lexus:P

I feel honoured to have a Mooty and Sharky part, all in one, on my car!

Hell, it just doesn't get any better than that!

Did Mooty autograph it it for you?

Of course, if Mooty autographed everything he sold in the past 10 years, any autographed part would not be worth any more than a regular part because the "autographed by Mooty" parts market would be saturated!

fc you are gonna be happy

fc-racer · 03-27-2009, 02:53 AM

I'm really picky about exhaust sound. For the most part, I leave exhausts stock because I find most of the aftermarket stuff drones or is excessively loud. I've never seen an aftermarket part receive such universal praise as the Sharky, so I'm really looking forward to it. I would have bought it new, but the economy is taking a toll on my income...

Ideal world would be something that sounds like the stock exhaust unplugged, but without the drone. Even more ideal world would be something that has the ability to tame the noise when you've got a headache, but without it becoming near silent like how the factory setup does in normal mode. From all accounts, the Sharky should fit the bill.

Finally, I'll be extraordinarily happy if this bypass reduces some of the resonance in the interior at around 3k rpm. Someone mentioned that this helps; I'm not expecting it, but it would be a huge bonus if it cuts down on the door panels and everything else vibrating at 3k.

Every once in a while, you come across a person that really cares about the things they do and it shows in the way they interact with even a stranger. Recently, I've come across two people like that, Mooty (John) and Enthusiast (Bruce).

Neither of these fine folks knows me, but both went out of their way to deliver a perfect product in a way that exceeds how even first class businesses conduct themselves.

I got the Sharky bypass from John today. It looks brand new, the packaging looks like I bought it directly from Alex. Are you sure you even used this John?? John even packaged the bolts in little zip bags and included a copy of the instructions. I couldn't ask for anything more if I paid full price!!

Bruce posted about how he purchased Mobilube PTX in a huge container and wanted to sell some to folks that wanted the "impossible to get in North America" factory fill for the gearbox. I bought some from him and again, it came perfectly packaged, not a single drop of lubricant anywhere.

I think when someone goes out of their way to put in the extra effort, they should be recognized. Thanks John and Bruce, you guys are awesome!!

Cheers,
Farzaan
