You got that bad boy on there? How you liking it so far?

[beyondspexj]

its nice. been running it for about 4 weeks tomorrow. dont see how people cry about "lag" with a .60 trim, down shift and go!

only on 10psi right now until i grab injectors, pump and a boost controller. the dp and dumptube was a real headache saver!!

Yeah dude, I couldn't find a shop that would make me one. I'm glad Eric was selling that one.

Wait till you get it up around 20+ psi

[beyondspexj]

oh i cant wait. the way it pulls at 10 and drops... i know its going to be a beast.

yea its definetly a money saver, shops around here would have charged an arm and a leg to do it.

[bpsrt4]

I went to every place in my area and most of them wouldn't do it because of the "legality" issues...since shops can be fined like $25k for removing/tampering w/ your cat

Glad I could help you out though

[beyondspexj]

haha yea same here. i know a few shops that would do it for me. its just the price to do it was insane. (imho).

you have no idea how much i appreciated that pm! Thanks again. Going to go get the rest of the exhaust done tomorrow ( side exit again, im sure my boy is going to laugh when he sees me pull in as he has done about 6 other exhaust setups on this car ). then its time to save for fuel. hope to have everything dialed in just in time for boost season aka fall/early winter

[bpsrt4]

I just got my exhaust welded up a couple weeks ago...it was louder w/ the dual exit MPX on there than just the downpipe

So I got ahold of the MPX muffled single exit...I like it.

And once you get the car dialed in your gas mileage will increase if you can keep your foot out of it.

I am getting a bit over 30mpg right now...

glad i could do all the hard work

do your self a favor.......get a air hammer.......you will also have to cut the bottom of the one bracket off under the cowl.......

[beyondspexj]

hymm... i saw that bracket while doing my wideband install and didnt even think about it. that would have helped out a lot before hand lol. thanx!!

[bpsrt4]

Yeah an air-hammer would be the way to go...you don't have much room for to get a good swing of the hammer back there

exactly

[nightmare_rebuilt]

has anyone tried them with a stg3? my friend is looking for something to increase top end, and are cam gears worth it on this?

[91PumpKing.]

2.0s would be a complete waste w/o gears.


stock duration. a bit more lift on the exh cam, and a narrower LSA = peaky powerband w/ power drop-off at redline...
