Default Getting ready for the mile and TX2K10

The guys at LMR have been busy making a few changes that hopefully result in some power.

First up we removed the AMS500 and installed a Eboost2. I can adjust the boost from inside the car now. LMR did a pretty trick install. Since I dont have the factory adjustable suspension anymore they made my suspension control **** switch between high boost(sport) and low boost(tour).





Next we finally got my exhaust issue fixed. My car has a 4L80 so getting 3" to the back of the car isnt possible. So Josh removed the 3" round tubing and put ovalized tubing in its place. The tubing is pretty cool, lower profile same flow characteristics.





Test fitting the low profile cutouts



And the finished product





Updated power numbers should be in tommorrow.

Very Nice! Including turbos you have at least 12000.00 in exhaust!


I thought a Corsa z06 catback was expensive...lol

While I will admit the exhaust on the car is expensive as is everything with a car like this, it wasnt 12k. Keep in mind this is a 4 digit hp car, not a daily driven fbody. I appreciate your comments and in the future would advise you keep them to yourself, as you dont know me and have no clue as to my financial status or IQ.
