I will let those who are better photographers help me out with some better pics and a clip.
Car is severely traction limited now. It's a much bigger difference than I imagined.

Well I should have my camera with me when I come up this weekend. I planning to try and get some photos from Rotornuts build Friday. So at least something better until your official photographer is in the area.

Because the cans are too long for their inlet pipes to be able to bend and fit in. Plus SoCal f-tards like the loop thing; I've seen looped single exit exhausts on CR before.
Also because it it were done before, I wouldn't have wanted it.

My official photographer did his best in very limited time and 6 o'clock sunlight to get some more pics. This really seems to be a hard thing to do well.
This is the pic that doppleganger sent me, saying it was the exhaust best of the bunch.

Went to megameet at DIY Autotune and was lucky enough to weasel my non squirted car onto their new dyno. Their new dyno reads a little bit lower than the old dyno. But just like the old dyno and my old car, spool sucks compared to what actually happens on the street. 11 psi came 400-500 rpm late so my torque curve doesn't have as much area as it should. On the street I'd have 11psi by 3k rpm, but it didn't get 11 until about 3500 on the dyno. But the power numbers are pretty impressive (0% CF).
It was only a 2 pull, quick on, quick off, no datalogging type deal. I'm not complaining since it was only $20, but unfortunately I've got no telemetry to go with the graph. Be advised that the Y axis for torque and power are scaled differently.
Car made 11-12 psi total. A/F was overall pretty good 12:1 but maybe a pinch lean up top @ 12.5:1. I'd like to get it to 11.8:1 or so. All the tuning was done on the street by myself while Bryan (wildfire) drove for me. I've never been able to get Xede to datalog, and it certainly does not do any fuel autotuning. I have not really made any changes to the default spark map. I added a little bit overall (2 degrees if memory serves) because it looked super conservative, but that's it.
Several people got to hear the new exhaust and take rides. People riding in the chase car(s) got to see fireballs I'm told. Sometimes in the pipes, a couple times shooting out. Visible in the daytime no less. Wish we could get that on film!

wanna buy a used hydra?
I've also been waiting for DIY Autotune to get to the MS solution for the NB... which I assume will be some version of MSII or MSIII, but I don't know if they're planning parallel or standalone. Knowing Jerry, it's probably standalone.
Matt, if you're semi-serious, you can shoot me a price and I'll stick it in my craw and chew on it.
