Thanks very much for the link.
I guess now I will have to get a Dropbox account so I can see the whole thing.
The "preview" is awesome.

The video (what I could see of it) makes me proud.
Having owned gen1 and gen3 Camaros and a lot of other Chevrolets, I have wanted another Camaro for years but had to wait for just the right one to come along.
And of course it finally did.

The story of how the sound tube came to be (the washing machine hose) is very intriguing and I can't wait to see the whole video.
But it in no way makes me regret removing it and erasing as many traces of its presence as possible.
Good riddance to bad garbage IMHO.
There is a longer story to sound tubes (and other such frilly "enhancements").
They go back much earlier than the current vintage of muscle cars-

Thanks again for snagging the video and sharing it.
