I don't like a noisy exhaust though, so I'll come up with something. My modifications stop here, unless parts show up for christmas 
I need to focus my financial efforts elsewhere for a while
All in all, I could not be happier. really. You have to drive this thing to really feel the benefits...the power is instantaneous, and hits HARD.

Those sparks are the ignition cut at 4000 rpm for launching....redline is set at 4000 until the speed sensor reads 5 mph, then it's go time
Now, without further ado, let me direct your attention here:

Hope you can get some extra hp with some good tuning.

. You can always get a 70mm headerback and add a silencer for daily use(believe me it eliminates all drone and reduces volume very well, and this is from experience with my 3 inch system).

Up until this point I have opted to leave that silencer out because my S lost a few rwhp throughout the entire powerband with it in. I know, I know--what's a few rwhp for the sake of cutting down the noise. Anyways, when I have my supercharger installed I am going to have the silencer on during daily driving and remove it when I go to the track.

With the SC you won't need to worry about that few hp lost

I'm not really sad about the lack of peak gains out of this kit, since I rarely take it up above 8500 anyway...
I would have liked to see a higher peak, but once I got to drive it, all possible bitching was eliminated. This car flat out hauls ass now. I've had a couple of different people drive it, some of which have been drag racing for a very long time...the butt dyno consensus is this is a 13 flat car, maybe high 12's if you shifts are dead nuts. The instantaneous throttle response is no joke...I never really put much faith into people talking about throttle response before, but I can vouch for it now...it's unreal the difference these things made in spirited driving.
