Hey Swoope.. Did the rain ever clear? I am curious about your thoughts regarding how the car feels now. What changes you have noticed.. etc...

Also.. What midpipe is on the car and is it a straight through or high flow?

had the car for the weekend, it was cold here. riding bike to and from work in cold bad. i moved away from cold, cold bad.

the pipe on the car is a cat with the cat removed and a borla resonator put in.

the x eptor was not in for the weekend. so i got to drive my car with a mid pipe. not as loud as i thought, but scared the hell out of me when the *** of my car lite up the sky when i backed off at ~90+.

the car is back in tampa. testing is this week.

beers

^ Yeah, I don't get it either. Everyone's talking about it, but I can't find the numbers. Could someone point us, who are lost, to the right direction?

The car is being currently tuned by Scott and I suspect that the dyno will happen this week if he is pleased with the progress. The last update by Swoope was that it will dyno sometime this week...

Yeah why would you pay that much for only 20hp when you can spend half that much on any other mod and only get 2-3hp.
Kinda true and the reason why I hope prices will go down because spending $800 for 1-2HP from an exhaust system is just a stupid deal, in MY opinion. In time I hope the 8 aftermarket get's ALOT cheaper than it is today.

Swoope...come on...tell us...tell us, we are all going nuts...lol

j/k...when it's ready, it will be ready...no sense in rushing the product.

Swoope, will you have the car in the Tampa area for any extended time when you pick it up? If so let a few of us know.

That was nice of you to leave the car for the weekend though...
