Special Report - April 2007
Texas TA Mufflers named official sponsor of The Bandit Run 2007.
http://www.thebanditrun.com/ About a year ago we got to thinking that 2007 would be the 30th anniversary
of the Smokey and the Bandit movie, and that we should do something to
commemorate it. So we planned to have a Diablo Sandwich cook-off and
Tater-Tot toss out at the old Texas Trans Am Service and Restoration shop.
However, we met up with some friends and enthusiasts at the Dallas Autorama
who had the crazy idea of gathering as many Bandit and non Bandit Trans Ams
as they could, meet in Texarkana TX on the 15th of May and convoy to Atlanta
GA.
We decided that their idea was better and signed on as the official Muffler
of the Bandit Run. Besides, anybody restoring a unibody is going to need a
low profile muffler.
So, please log on the Bandit Run site, won’t you. Sign up for the discussion
and tell 'em TexasTAMufflers.com and TexasTransAms.com sent you. (It 'll
make us look good.) If you can make the trip, we look forward to seeing you!
And if you'r running our mufflers, we look forward to hearing you!
While you are still on-line check out the latest resto-mod at Texas Trans Am
Service and Restoration. It's Melanie's 1981 Turbo Trans Am. But it's not a
301 anymore... Under hood modifications begin with a four core Rodney Red
racing radiator. The heartbeat of this car is a 383 C.I.D. small block
engine with 18 degree aluminum NASCAR racing heads, ceramic coated Headman
headers, aluminum March pulley system. Solid engine mounts dropped the
height of the engine a little over 1 inch, increasing the hood clearance and
lowering the car's center of gravity. Another 2 inches were cut from the top
of the 18 degree Edelbrock Victor intake manifold to make clearance for the
carburetor and air cleaner under the stock hood.
http://www.texastransams.com/restoration/81bla383ta_m01.htm This is a video with sound of a 700+ horsepower 383 CID "Cup Car" engine on
Texas TA Mufflers. The exhaust includes long tube headers, full length 3
inch pipes and X-pipe through 3 inch dual chamber Texas TA Mufflers. Wait
until your boss is at lunch, because you are going to want to turn this one
up.

And finally a special thanks to Reveille, for her brief but outstanding
service on the order desk here at the shop.
Thanks for reading!
