Default Hey Guys!

So here's my exhaust, finally where I want it:



Dumps at a turndown about a foot from the rear bumper. you can just BARELY see the exhaust from outside the car. I think it looks extremely clean back there without tips. Sorry I don't have pics of that yet, I've got to get a good day and go do a photoshoot of that, where I've shave emblems, and the new HIDs

Anyway, just an update for everyone. I know some people were wanting pics of the setup. And oh yeah, this happened on the way home tonight. 20200 miles in 10 months. Craziness!

That would be mud from my driveway. Nearly a mile of gravel, dirt, and mud. The MCSS doubles as a rally car and is driven as such.

Maybe I should drive through a lake of muck. It might help deaden the exhaust drone

I'll be spraying soon. Intake, then spray and dyno tuning. I plan on replacing the trans this Oct. with a built one from TEP.

I went outside yesterday, and rotated my mass air flow housing so that the connector was facing up. I had it pointing toward the header tube for some dumb reason, and now I've got some mad power! IAT's are lower too... what a diff in the responsiveness. Nice snappy shifts with quick down shifts
Very odd...
Beat the snot out of the trans today just joy riding back home from work. Smoked a newer Lexas. He tried to do a fly by but I smashed the gas pedal just before he got started to pass my bumper and took off!. His car was a super clean white 4dr. I don't know Lexas but it looked pretty sporty. Pulled to about 125 and then lost my *****. He stayed about 4 cars back.

I wish I could afford the trans. I think I'm just going to do cosmetic stuff for a while. Maybe an intake if I run across a good deal.

I can't really rotate my MAF because of the location with the new CAI tube. However, the IAT is relocated to right behind the headlight.

CarloCrusader, we need to meet up and hang out. I'm not too far from you.
