So was driving the car around and got a check engine light. Figured it might be bad gas since the car was in storage so drove around to burn it out and went to the gas station to fill it up. Sure enough the gas cap was barely on! And then it hit me that the dumb emissions guy didn't clip it in all the way.

I debated the same thing as well, but because of the noise, granted the magnaflow does a good job. Might just add in a bullet muffler.

I've got a Borla resonator to handle the rasp of an ORY...it's just that smell is clingy. If I just start the car up and back it out of the garage, my clothes smell like unburnt fuel...it has become really annoying...
