Sal, do you want to plan a time to do a live tune when I have it on the dyno over here? I will send you my current tune tonight for you to inspect.

Did you get the cats, or just use the OEM ones?

WOW! What a sound to behold. My car sounds freakin ferocious. It is a little tinny or raspy sounding, especially when cold, but it is growing on me.

Evolve headers, Magnaflow cats, SS x-pipe, Dinan cans.

I will report on the power once I have it tuned and again when I have it dynoed again. So far it feels weaker at low rpm and stronger at high rpm, but that is without tune and only 20 miles on it so far. It coasts much longer while in gear than before, I assume due to less back pressure. It is very noticeable.

Nice! Is everything new, or just the headers? Wondering if it will change tone once it's all broken in, unless the rest of the exhaust was already there.

Mine is a bit tinny when cold too, but I think all exhausts are like that.

I was told the tinny sound is from the stainless steel and is more subtle as the exhaust heats up. I was told to bring it back in after a week or so to tighten everything up, especially the bolts on the engine.

It very well may change after things are tight and the tune is on, not to mention it has been broken in for a while.

The Dinan cans do sound a bit hollow without the factory resonnator. DM5 had the same setup as me, but with Dinan cans...same deal.

The raspy sound is your new sound of your exhaust. I love that now. Being able to coast longer also adds to the ability to shift better as there is less of a rev to "match" on the upshift. I don't think I'm explaining it right, but you'll feel it soon enough with more driving if not already.

Oh that lack of low end power now, Sal will fix that. You'll like what happens next. Congrats on the install.

Do you hear the exhaust pulses now? The car has a boxer-ish sound to it but I can't remember if it was before or after the tune.

You should all reset your adaptions (short and long term) after installing headers.
