The ATL one is $20, if that is something you are comfortable with.

I'm not really liking anything except that racetronix one. I'm probably just going to run the stock wiring. There shouldn't be much voltage drop over that short distance. Only worry is burning up wires...**** this.

Will I need to retune anything with adding a 3" exhaust? Besides EBC? Fuel should be the same I assume.

You will need to retune everything. More VE means more flow means more fuel. It will likely even affect MBT, so if you've dyno-tuned to find MBT, you'll probably want to redo that as well.

Working on VM now, sorry, forgot about it.

Ew. I guess I'll upgrade fuel system and exhaust and dyno retune before track season next spring.

Think I'm buying this. Steal of a deal. Only downside is driveability. But if I hate it I can swap it back out with my FM and sell it all.

Any naysayers?

(Brian you aren't allowed to comment, you're the one selling it )

Sorry Der. I'm getting it.

Though if I install it and don't like it you have first dibs.

Isnt that a 949 without the 949 badging? IIRC 949 replacement friction disks come in comp clutch boxes.

This look nice

So what's the verdict on that heat blanket for the downpipe?
