Kyuss what did you use for a tune. The cars exhaust is far to restrictive but I do not want to add headers. It could probably lose a set of mufflers for starters.
I have had an 09 G8 now for just over one year. So far 13,000 troublefree miles and it is a good daily driver.

I went with the Vector mail-order tune since I don't know(trust) anyone closer. I'm plenty happy with it and they've been great to deal work so far. I believe there's some good tuners down in FL you may want to look into so you could have it dyno tuned however. CAI, mufflers & x-pipe, and a tune (both ecm & tcm) and the car will seem like a much different beast.

Thanks for the tip. The G8 is my DD & I just want some more power for Monday through Friday. My other cars all have double or even triple the horsepower so I am ok for the weekends when I feel that need for speed. Plus this car cuts out at 140mph and it is still pulling strong.
