Great work! - good to see the pandas settling in

[Rawrnz]

@deamze08 been reluctant to call them rice rockets... they are quite fast, i messed around after the 3rd shot and it left me behind...

interesting horns are they are not as low as the DC tone, i saw them when we first got them, they look good finally doing some work :)

[Rawrnz]

@CarAudioGuy21 yea, tinny horns on the DL makes me laugh..

Great footage by the way...Hate the horns, Nathan KL5As should've been installed!
