MagnaFlow Exhaust Products strives to be ahead of the curve when it comes to bringing out performance exhaust systems for the latest cars and trucks, and at the 2014 SEMA show, the were all over the 2015 models.    In this video, Rich Waitas takes us through the new applications for Mustangs, F150s, Corvettes, and Harleys, as well as shows us some new coatings for MagnaFlow systems.   He also brought us up to speed on some of the technology in the OE systems and how MagnaFlow incorporates the use of active valving on their systems as well.    

Have you seen the latest on the 1969 Ford F100 / 2002 Ford Lightning “Thunder’s Truck” being built in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop?     Our crew transplanted a 2002 Ford Lightning engine and chassis under a 1969 Ford F100 Ranger pickup including everything from the supercharged 5.4L V8 to the antilock brakes and everything in-between.     The chassis was shortened and modified to fit under the 1969 cab and bed.    Click through the pics to see the process and check out the complete build video series!

We were all extremely excited to learn that Mr. Chevy has landed the lead image on Hot Rod’s website!    They posted a gallery of the first 75 cars at SEMA, with Mr. Chevy leading the way.    The vintage 1955 Chevy Gasser and matching hauler “carried away” were a huge hit at the SEMA show. It’s quite an honor!    

1955 Chevy Gasser Mr. Chevy and Hauler at SEMA 2014 V8TV Video

The SEMA show is often equated with new parts, as it is THE show where all the new stuff is unveiled. However, this year, we brought out a vintage 1955 Chevy Gasser race car and hauler to share with the SEMA attendees. Mr. Chevy was built to this configuration back in 1968, the hauler in ’71, and the car was raced until 1976. On one bad day back in 1976, original builder Van Heck broke the car and wrecked the hauler, and banished both vehicles to his barn for good. The car was bought by Larry Frees at Heck’s estate sale in 2006 and cleaned & repaired to “last raced” condition, and the truck was restored partially by the V8 Speed & Resto Shop. Since Frees got the car running and the truck all back together, he’s been sharing the pair with enthusiasts at various shows around the country
