I'm trying to build up enough guts right now to go outside and put my midpipe on. Why couldn't it be warmer? I wish it wasn't so sunny out right now because it's still cold as hell.
Oh and John, I hate you a little less now since you changed the name on the list to mine instead of Megan's.![Lol2](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol2.gif)

1 day difference isn't enough to argue John. ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Those guys in Arizona don't go through tremendous climate changes like we do (like going from 55 to 18 degrees in 24 hours).
Plus, when I asked Jeff about "ambient temp" while doing our AP dyno, he said it doesn't matter if its 35 or 85 degrees.

I would argue the ambient temp issue to a point. If ambient temp had no bearing on anything you wouldn't see CAI on cars at all. That said...we don't gain much from them so he is probably more correct as it comes to an 8. But the air to fuel ratio would have to change with colder air. But either way humidity is going to play into it some...but Phoenix is kinda dry. *sigh* Who knows...

Don't know why he didn't just have his AP logging during the dyno.

So this time I did my AP dyno on a flat highway instead of a back road.
My dumbass didn't think about how fast I would end up going in 3rd gear at 7000 rpm!
So with a variance around 10 between all the logs, here are my max numbers:
232.46HP @ 6802 rpm
182.33TQ @ 5231 rpm
I'm curious what Easy comes up with when he does his comparison.

New exhaust install was going to be early spring...but with seeing Brian doing his install yesterday I may move it forward. Stock catback is going in my basement with all the other parts that I have replaced so far.

Yeah... it will be... but I've got a few Irons in the fire, but I wanted to ask out here first. I don't know if Jon or Ryan still have their stock systems or not...
The work will be worth it if I get a better exhaust and trade my racing beat and save a couple hundred bucks in the process... but its not crucial.
Its just nice to have the flexibility. And if something somehow did happen to your parts. I would replace it with another stock system or compensate you. (want some used snow tires?) j/k
