Hey, at least you can fool some people with a slightly higher price on supercharging. Where do you guys find these things anyway?

y2k: how do you like your magnaflow?

BTW, I noticed that you've pretty much modded your car along the lines of performance and handling but without lowering. Is that your decision to not drop the Max or is it in the works? Just wondering because I'm interested in going the way that you're at since I might not relower my car again.

My SE rides stiff enough with the stock suspension for my liking, mbcp_tdogg. Besides, I've already got enough squeaks and rattles to last a lifetime . . . and that's AFTER the TSB was applied on three separate occasions. Lowering the car would only add to the cacophany.

I like this quote from their home page:

Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
0 to 35 increase in horsepower,

0 to 31.85% increase in fuel economy.


Seems pretty accurate if you stay at the beginning of the range.

Yup, can't accuse them of false advertising with a line like that.

Hmm... and 2 + 2 = 5 for large values of 2 . . .


I wonder where the 31.85% came from?? U think they just picked random numbers??

That's like trying to impress a girl if she asks how much money you make with your job a year, and you say: "Well, I make between zero and infinity!"

If she's an airhead, she'll be all wide-eyed impressed with the infinity, and she's all yours. But in most cases, she'll probably just raise an eyebrow, give you the big 'L' with her hand, and walk out the door.

She was looking kinda dumb
with her finger and her thumb
in the shape of an L
on her forehead...

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
