Default S3 with bypass finally in!!

After doing tons of research on different TB's, I decided to go with the polished S3. I know he is not a sponser however I have heard nothing but good things about the quality of his work. Like everyone had told me, it did take over a month to get mine however it was worth it IMO, great product. Mr. shaner does all his work by himself with no help, however his customer service is outstanding and will answer any questions you have. The quality and finish was amazing and wish I had taken the time to take pics but I was so impatient I put it in as soon as I got it. It only took about an hour (taking my time) and that was doing the bypass also. I could def. tell the differnece but I was kind of dissapointed at first driving it out of my shop not really feeling the throttle response like I had expected. That was until I smashed the throttle to the floor at 40mph and felt my *** end drift into the other lane. Very happy with the results and just wanted to say thanks to everyone who answered my dubass questions about TB's and the bypass mod. Ended up using 2ft. of 5/16 fuel line and 2 hose clamps and worked fine, just took some convinsing to get the one end over the radiator nipple. Ill post dyno results soon!

I just installed my S3 a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures before I put my FIPK back on.

just looking at your times in your sig thats a crazy trap speed with that 13sec run, trap speed like that should be in the mid to low 12's like mine should be too.
