All:

Just installed SS Exhaust and X-Pipe......can I say the car now sounds like a vehicle with 400 hp and the name "BEAST". Amazing how nice these sound. No resonance or toher problem on the highway. Sounds great and the burble and gurgle in the lower gears is phenomenal!

Also ahd a new clutch and flywheel put in and th car really feels great! Overall gotta wait about 500-1000 miles before I can really get on it but so far things are good......

As we all know as well expensive thought for the clutch and flywheel. All in around $2000K. Stuck withe OEM set up. Just heard to many iffy situations with the aftermarket set ups. I use the car as a daily driver.

Did you reprogram the ECU?
Is the SES light still off?

Congrats on the SS. Give it a few months for the cans to break in and the sound will become even deeper. You gotta love those SS tips!

No did not re-program the ECU. No SES Light issue at all. Realy enjoying the sound though!

If you like this you will love the headers. I did this first and a few months later went the next step. I also added powerpulleys from Evosport and that changed the car drastically. It is quite a bit louder than stock, so if that is an issue don't do the headers, but the car is awsome. I went from 345 to 389 RWHP and have had no issues with it for three years.

The SES light is an issue though, however I understand that can be fixed now with the new programming.
