"Turbo Silence" says it all.

"Turbo Silence" says it all.  This is very powerful and amazingly quiet for its size, and the remote control is a nice touch -- I thought I wouldn't need it but it's great for adjusting in the middle of the night.

Barbara Brown Taylor demonstrates her craft as a preacher so effectively that she has earned the title of one of America's best.  In her book When God is Silent, Barbara brings to light the difficulty many that preach face as they approach the Biblical text and message.  In forthright honesty she gives expression to areas that both teach and frighten a preacher when they are preparing a homily: famine, silence, and restraint.

 Taylor speaks to a culture that has become accustomed to its throwaway lifestyle.  Words are disposable.  With so many words now being assimilated into the English language, our minds are over satiated.  This rich diet of fast food newsprint, magazine gluttony, and a blitzkrieg of entertainment television has numbed the ability of words to move and stir our being.  In the midst of abundance, we are in a state of famine--a famine that is silent.

 What do we do when we don't hear the voice of God?  Taylor paints a picture of a God who has grown silent in order that we may pay attention.  The canvas of silence is one we avoid with all our might.  Upon the canvas, the colors are vivid primary tones that our culture tries to dull with noise and activity.  Her point is well taken...God is not really silent, people have just muted God out.  But she warns preachers to be wary of using too much language to fill voids of silence, for silence is the antacid to settle our indigestion caused by over feeding on our vernacular.

 What Taylor does best, is allow the reader to reflect on whose word is being proclaimed on Sundays.  She uses the old adage of `less is more' to articulate that holding back on word usage allows for the silence to speak, almost like a ray of sunlight peaking through a cloud covered sky.  Recognize our loss by over using words and restrain ourselves from saying too much.  Let silence speak, for it has more profound things to say than any preacher can.  Using vivid imagery, she gives sound advice to all who step into the pulpit to proclaim the good news.  Sometimes, what you don't say or leave unsaid speaks louder and lasts longer.  After all, its God's good news for us, not our good news for ourselves.

Sealed, well packaged & does everything I need it to: quiets the engine & slows any leaks if not completely stops them.

This is near silent.  I use it to push the hot air out of our entertainment center.  You cannot hear it, at all, with everything off.  This is seriously perfect for all applications.  There are feet and the speed is adjustable.

Omar said in an interview that the track "Frances the Mute," the fiteen-minute track on this single, was actually his favorite song on the entire _Frances the Mute_ album.  Your guess is as good as mine why it didn't make the album or why they didn't put _Frances the Mute_ out as a double-CD, but you really don't have all of _Frances the Mute_ until you have this single.  (Any way, that's the part of Volta you love the most: the enigma.)  This track has Volta sounding more like Yes than they ever have around the ten-minute mark with some spiky jamming and then some _Tales from Topographic Ocean_ under-sea stuff and a rousing rifforama with Cedric's "this never happened" refrain.  It's really a great song, as good as anything they have ever done.  And let's just say, without giving too much away, that it makes _Frances_ come full circle both musically and lyrically.  Get your hands on it.

Put Farewell to Steam on your CD player with your remote in hand. Start off at low volume, and as the pressure slowly rises, and the chuff-chuff, slip--chuffchuff-chuff of the pistons gains speed and meaningful  rhythym,crank the volume ever louder until you'll swear there IS as  railroad running through the middle of your house--as the throaty roar of  the engine's whistle pierces your living room, don't be surprised if  neighbor kids come to the door, asking, "What is that? " Sure hit  with railfans of all ages, and a curiosity for folks under the age of 35,  who've never experienced the real thing.  The above method is also  surefire for waking slug-abeds for whom an alarm clock is a mere annoyance.  (I know. This recording, in a previous incarnation, was used by my parents  for that very purpose.)

This turned by aftermarket exhaust on my S2000 from an obnoxious droning beast, to the racing powerhouse it was designed to be. I can actually hear my engine rev now. Still sounds great at high rpm but it doesn't sound like racing at every low rpm takeoff. Does not sound raspy at all and there's peace when cruising down the highway.

Some have complained of rattling... I wrapped the inner tip (not constricting airflow) with aluminum foil as a preemptive measure to ensure no rattling in the future.

Love it!

That title sums them up pretty well. i bought this a few weeks ago and they sent me the clean version which i was initially p*ssed about but then i realized its obvious what all the missing words are. on almost every track they spit a story about crime and it works well. the production is handled mostly by ski, so you know the beats are butter. on one track ski even hooks up a videogame sample. R.I.P. to Marlon Brando of the sporty thievz who gave his life pushing a child out of the way of an oncoming car.

Really quiet drive. They only thing about it, is it is a finger print magnet. Should have left the plastic on it.

Judas Priest's eleventh studio album Ram It Down is hugely underrated in my opinion. It contains some very strong material and performances from the band.

I understand fully why this album is harshly overlooked. The band's previous album Turbo soured a lot of people towards the band in the mid to late eighties with its commercial leanings. Ram It Down and Turbo were originally intended to be a double album together. Consequently, many people put that together and choose to ignore Ram It Down.

Ram It Down is actually a great album, much heavier than Turbo with far less of the synths or the glam/hair tinges. Some of the songs on Ram It Down are almost Thrash Metal in places, with double kicks going off, heavy palm muted riffs and it seems unfair to lump this in with Turbo as `that pair of sellout albums.'

Ignoring the style and direction of the album for a minute, the actual music is top notch. Tracks like `Hard As Iron,' `Come And Get It,' and the furious title track are all excellent and deliver everything you could want from Judas Priest in terms of energy, performance and vocal range and all that before you even talk about the guitar solos on the album.

Overall, Ram It Down is a great Judas Priest album and I'd urge you not to overlook it just because of its origins, if you try it you may just be surprised.

I hope I am not jinxing  myself here, its only been in for a few months. But I must say I very pleased with this unit.  I had the turbo replaced over a year ago, that one cost nearly $1000, and it died just after the warranty expired. I could swear this one performs better! Not sure but I could swear I am getting 5-10% more boost out of this cheap turbo. I was really skeptical because of the low cost, but so far so good. I highly recommend it. I will check back in if it dies or in a year just to let everyone know that its still running strong.

Deep and throaty rumble at idle....growls during WOT! A definite head turner.  I swear it adds horsepower as well ( though can'take prove it).  Yates Racing delivered it quickly and we'll packaged!  I used this for my Charger....not my everyday ride.  If I had to drive it every day I might choose Loudmouth II. I would choose either over Flow master  ( have it on my Dodge Ram 1500) or Borland  ( much more expensive)!

High quality, fast, and completely quiet. Ahhhh...

The hard drive works surprisingly quiet and even more importantly fairly fast with the Turbo Copy included with the device. No problems so far, would definitely recommend.

If you want a silent ( truly silent) check valve.  Look no further.  This one is worth the money.  Get it.

woke the turbo up! i installed at the same time as mbrp exhaust and i could tell a big difference on first test drive. more responsive throttle for sure.

My "notice me" loud muffler days passed long ago. I put this on my 1966 Ford Station Wagon with a 289 engine and single exhaust.  The muffler has a pleasant, low key rumble at an idle, walking behind the car there is no mistaking that there is a V-8 under the hood -- eighteen feet away...

Accelerating away from a stop in town makes just enough noise to catch a real "car guys" ear and make him look but not catch the attention of the general population or the local law enforcement officer.

Remember air conditioning was an expensive option when this car was built, the cars of this era were designed to be quiet at road speed with the windows down and keeping the interior quiet and free of resonance was a big factor in choosing this muffler. It delivers as advertised.

Crossing a concrete bridge or underpass with the windows down will encourage me to step in to it a bit just for fun but then back to cruising and blissful quiet.

To summarize, this muffler is no louder than the factory systems on some of the modern pick up trucks.  If you want to be noticed this is not the part for you.  However if you want a quiet cruising coupled with a low key rumble around town this is an excellent choice. One more plus -- like all Flowmaster mufflers, top quality (this thing is heavy) made in USA.  Happy cruising!
