DAMN THAT IS LOUD... between the intake + y-pipe+catback my car now roars very loud. I've been in other cars that have y-pipe and intakes... but I never expected it to be this loud... anyway I guess I'l give it a while to decide if I like it.

Performance... It added a lot... I could feel the car pull harder and I watched the tachometer rise a lot faster... I chirped hard going into second and a little chirp going into thrid...

I have pics which I will upload when I have time. I can't wait to get this to the track

Told ya' that thing was loud! Did you end up getting the flex section replaced or wrapped? What did those guys charge you for the install?

Track this week?

You don't understand... I've been in your car when it was on it... that was quiet. its not wrapped because they said it would make hte flex section rust out a lot faster

I paid $70 after tax, it would have been less but I had then change my oil filter also.

Did you give them new gaskets? Did you check their work? Maybe there isn't a good seal at one of the three flanges. You'll have to take me for a ride so I can be the judge

I doubt I will...I'll be back in school (read: no time, no money!). But knowing Aaron, he will. He's almost as fast as me, so after he beats you that means we know I can

Yeah.

Sprint, what is your best run? You keep saying 14.7, but there's a big difference between 14.70 and 14.79.

Oh, and I'm (and I sure Aaron) am more than willing to race once you decide to come out here. I'm sure you can get a following from out there to come along. Aaron and I can get the Upstate guys and we'd have a mini-meet at our magical track. Everyone would run .2 better because of it.
