Default Thoughts on my new SY4000!!

Holly $hit!!

I had no idea a converter would make this much of a difference!

from a 30, 40, or 50 punch, the pull is amazing!

by far, the best $900 I have ever spent!

Congrats on the verter. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
That should be a very potent street combo with your gearing, and you will probably surprise quite a few people. I love my ST3500. Easily the best mod I have done to date. Now if I can just work out a few small problems I'll be set.

I will say two things:

I finally understand what the term "loose" means..
it's weird to let your foot off the break at a light, and the car not move forward...but you do get used to it fairly quickly...

also, if there is one thing that I don't like, is that it made my exhaust sound a bit different, almost "ricey"..guess I just need headers!

once again: YANK RULES!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Great job! Yeah, I know what you mean about the ricey sound. The looser the converter, the more annoying loud exhaust can be. I'm trying to make mine as quiet as possible without compromising flow.
