    last night. I'll get with Ron, see who he recommends for a local dyno, I'd like to get a before and after. Waiting on some info for a catback before I purchase but it should be tonight or tomorrow (pricematch quote). I'll most likely wait until I get back from Mexico (Sunday) before getting the headers and mid-pipe, then get the entire exhaust installed at the same time.

    With 600 miles on the ticker, it has begun! :viking:

    Go Thom go...

    Chris from Dyno's Edge is the MAN... Let me know when you go over there and I will cruise with you. I need to get mine up for some fine tuning anyway.

    LOL! just ordered my Magnaflow catback as well! Now all I need for the short-term is some Kook's LT's and mid-pipe.

    Who wants to rock the party...I want to rock the party :band: I love Flight of the Conchords :)

    You'll love what the predator and AFE do to the car, be sure to change the t-stat too. Be careful what you do after that, a lot of those mods don't really pay off for what they cost.

    Bought my thermo last week! Soon as I get it all installed I'll be singing "It's BizNass, It's BizNass tiiiime!"

    As far as mods go, 1st the thermo, cai & tune, then the longtubes, mids and catback (& tune). Trying to talk the wife into an S/C system but she isn't too receptive, so maybe a cam.

    Maybe if you wear that Team Building Excersise 1999 shirt from work and give her a little Wednesday night loving she'll be more receptive about the S/C idea :whistle: :)

    Can't wait to see how your car comes out!

    Awesome! sounds like your already to get started tearing into that beast. I just did the thermo a few weeks ago so if you've got questions let me know.

    Woot!!:clapping: AFE II and Magnaflow catback arrived today just after returning from Mexico! Looks like the Predator is in ABQ according to UPS. And the wife:drugs:, still happy from vacation, signed off on the long-tubes! It's been a great week!

    Hate to be a bench-modder, but what should I expect with headers, catless-mid, catback, afe II, thermostat & Diablo tune (most if not all of the "basic" bolt-ons)? Also, I'll most likely buy a CMR tune for that matter.
