The install went fairly well but it sucked doing it on my back, with no help. My hands look like I'm some sort of bare knuckle brawler.
And the first thing I noticed is the at idle and normal cruising rpm's the car seems noticeably quieter. I'm currently running the stock catback. When you go WOT, that's when things change. I figured it would be slightly louder at all RPM's, not just WOT.
I read about people loosing a pound or two of boost but my boost gauge is still pegged. It made 15/16psi prior but it looks like it still makes that.
My car use to hook up in second gear, but that has changed as well. Now it just blows the tires off. It seems most people say they only gained 20-30hp but this thing definitely seems to runs a lot harder than it did before the install. I laid marks on the highway on my way to work in 2nd and 3rd gear. I haven't had that experience since I removed the stock Good Years. :banana:
