After seeing the first car in the performance of TA Nat Pypes, exhaust calling and asking if he could stand it for SEMA '09. Tod said Pypes No. 2 is a better deal and have been working on it. The company says yes, and thrash the madness really began. "This car was built in just four weeks." Literal must sleep in the shop, at times, "said Tod.

Trans Am signal design in the world, but is more apparent than in the nose and hood. Camaro front fascia is changing the face of the urethane for-'78-'77 and a special style, and add the egg-crate grill with vertical bar grille replaced Camaro. Shaker scoop is fully functional and consists of two Shaker '78. And, of course, you can not lose detail to determine who slapped his head and said,-size chicken on the hood, screamed "damn it 'Trans Am."
