if not, i have a pass hl fs
Well I just swatted about a few thousand bugs on my way to Buffalo to fight a ticket, so after the rainy weekend and good wash, I'll let you guys know how it turns out. *crosses fingers*
I hate bugs!
Mike, I spoke with the guys at Slomo today, and your at the top of the list for engine rebuilds, and there was a guy in the engine rebuild room putting a v6 back together, so I don't know if it's yours but here's hoping!
now for the bad news...
spent some time today working with Kirk to get my exhaust system on, it took a while to get all the bolts off the cats (at one point kirk was hanging from the car pulling as hard as he could lol) and found out that the right mid pipe to the resonators was recently revised and didn't quite fit (curved in towards the center of the bumper instead of sitting flush in the center of where it's supposed to be).
Long story short, Tony from MD is shipping a different passenger midpipe to slomo, we reversed the install but left the res. test pipes on the car.
The exhaust system is not actually called a shockwave V2 anymore... apparently it's called the shockwave TDX2 now, and looks like this:

It no longer comes with a Motordyne XYZ modular y pipe, however Tony has assured me that this is a much better way to go than getting an XYZ.
The True Dual X pipel exhaust system with optimized for the highest level of torque and power. Dual 2.5" primary tubes and dual 3" midpipes provide the best overall response.
Dual 3" axleback section with side branch Helmholtz resonators eliminate drone. Motordyne exhaust systems are the result of extensive R&D combined with outstanding craftsmanship.

Oh and the lift put a dent in my right sideskirt, slomo contacted their body guy to get it fixed.
But I did get my test pipes on!

Wow, awesome for mikey, sucks for you and yeah for you tom! hahaha, So many ups and downs in your post. I hope that hot exhaust sounds as amazing as it looks! You are going to need some mirrors at shows to show the exhaust off!
