Default Car is back at Speedinc!

Larry is taking care of me again!!! This time in getting True duals, to get all the power I can get out of the current set up and meet the rules for the LTXshootout. Not to mention I want the sweet sound of TDs.
Im not gonna dyno it though so we wont know how much of a gain it is but im sure its worth a few HP/TQ over the catback with cut out. New vids when I get it back!!

When I had my Borla cat back it sounded good, but still had a raspy sound I hated. After going to TD sounded better in every way.

Is the Formula DD?
TD's are bit loud for DD its not exactly quiet and a lot of resonance threw the interior.

Nothing beats true duals. I DD'd true duals dumped before the axle for two years on a HC build and loved every minute of it.

Only complaint is that the ladies get pissed when they are trying to talk and you convientiently can't hear them .

I'm not getting "Tax Returns". They might as well be called "AI 21* Trickflows and GGPC HSR" . Wonder if the government can save me time and just pay me in car parts? LOL.

Then I can finally finish this almost year long build
