I don't intend to open them on the street. From what I've read, the electric ones have a high failure rate too. I debated with myself on the choice of with or without cutouts because Needswings will make them any way you want. Most likely mine will only get uncorked at the drag strip. Most track days have noise restriction rules. I'll try and see what they say.

Thanks, Pep Boys is around the corner and it was user error so I'll pick them up locally. Rob, how much of the 38 hp was Y pipe and how much downpipes? All I can really say is wow! I had all the shop employees watching the first pull. They loved the flames shooting out the bottom of the car.

So Rob, what's my next step? Seems like you don't sell anything that disappoints. I'm actually shopping for lightweight road racing wheels before looking for more go.

You should know me by now, when the time comes it's gotta be thermal coated. Maybe a package deal with a tune? Actually I need to revise the points system first to see what I have left to use before moving up a class. If I go up a class I have to run with the GTR's, Z06 Corvettes etc. The cat deletes are only 1 point! Little do they know.
