Default Edelbrock Strut Tower Brace PT.2

Hello to all,
I just installed the Edelbrock STB. The problem I encountered was that my step-father drill was broke (by my half-brother) and his cord-less is missing the batteries. So, I just bought some mounting tape (3M) and put it on the end that connects to the firewall for now.
Everything is tight and that is all I can do. I know this is a temp. fix but it is all I can do for now.

Also has anyone have or know of someone with the Aero Turbine (www.aeroexhaust.com) mufflers. I am going to purchase them tomorrow.

Thank you,
Adam (Firehawk536)

The mufflers are snake oil. They won't hurt anything and probably will give you a little boost (5-6 hp at full throttle) over the stock setup, but any company that claims a simple muffler change will increase mileage from 22 mpg to 29 mpg (as they do in their commercial that plays on the website) is full of bovine excrement.

If you like the sound, then go for it, they won't hurt anything, but don't expect any noticeable difference in power. Most people "feel" more power with an exhaust mod simply because the human brain interprets more noise as more power. I doubt that a dyno run would show any meaningful increase from just changing to this muffler. You'd be better off with long tube headers, high-flow cats, and a set of axlebacks from Borla or Mac or some similar company.
