It's louder than the Borla and has more drone at low rpm but overall I love it.

Thanks!

Kevin is does amazing work. He builds the best roll cages I have ever seen. He has done a number of pro drift cars including the K Sport 240 and his work always makes me go

Also remember I was going for as quiet and subtle as possible. If we took out that center muffler and/or had the waste gates dump into the open air it would be quiet a bit louder. That's not what I wanted.

OK so here is what I did to solve the problem. I gave in and put the evap box back on but moved it to the spare tire well. Since I have a 19x8" spare wheel/tire there was more than enough room to mount it to the bottom of the well and have the tire fit around. I extended the hoses and wires for the valve and pressure sensor then put heat wrap on them since they run right over where the exhaust is.

Everything is back to normal now, no SES light and I can fill the tank up as fast as before.

So, the evap canister is inside the trunk now? does it make the car smell like gas at all?

So all I need is a 19" spare and I can do this
Hmm, I need to start looking for a cheap 19".
Question, is your trunk raised?
