Truly took the words out of my mouth at 3:50. As I was watching I thought, "It's like watching truly gifted musicians who have never played together before. They exchange a few key words, and just blend". It's the same with this car. Truly pros playing the part, and a harmonious piece comes out. And the sound of that exhaust - if that doesn't say HORNET nothing does. Thank you as always ~ Chuck
@@drivebigmuscle8080 That is a tough question but I'll try this way. I'm a V8 guy, the bigger, the better. BUT - I also remember the dark days and the glimmer of hope that came with cars like Shelby turned out from Chrysler. They were the spiritual successors to the Road Runner in many ways. Affordable, quick, modifiable, etc. They even returned decent fuel economy and were at their heart - practical. I keep seeing these same traits in the Hornet and this build. Start with a fun, practical, daily driver, spice it up, and have a weekend warrior too. Does that make sense? And I have to add - just watching these craftsman do their work - that's educational and enjoyable. Thank you as always ~ Chuck
I did the same thing with the exhaust shop I went to. Here's the muffler and tip, I want it side exit and done in stainless. Then let them do the rest... you can't squash creativity. They did such a great job, when a year later I lowered my truck there's zero clearance and scrape issues.
I appreciate you guys for building this…with big HP going away you guys are ahead of the curve with putting some flavor on a hot hatch im definitely here for it see ya on the next episode!
Whyyyyyyy do people square off bumper cutouts for exhaust??? Round it so it fits with the tips. That squared off crap looks like a total hack job. Hopefully they end up putting a rear diffuser on that covers that squared junk up.
I’ve been waiting for this and now I have 7 episodes to watch

It's coming along pretty good - Chuck, if you had a favorite aspect of this build, what would it be?

This was a case where you leave the experts alone and let them do their thing!

Thanks for the support! What part of this build is your favorite so far?
@@hemmingsmotornews mines has to be the wide body upgrade that was tough to watch with the cuts to the body
@@GlasscityAl It was tough for us as well LOL! But sometimes you've got to take chances!
Heck, that would look pretty ill in the factory color with the widebody!
Right, we think the same thing!
I love my dodge Hornet! It does make me upset that Direct Connection hasn’t come out yet for the hornet.
They're working on it - stay tuned!
What exhaust is this just recently bought a gt hornet would like to install

He’s talking over the exhaust revvs and their playing music. Smh
