Thanx man, Still loving it everyday,, Herb SUX?? Only some,. They gave my wife a sweat deal on her car( One in the Vid) An I just got my X Coupe there. They can in with a deal that no one else could even touch. Mind you this is the New one in Westboro( The salesman we used was awsome). But on the same note I would not but one from the one in Boston, The Westboro one gives better deals..

Car is on the rack as I type!! Just got a call from the guy for what he has planned out; he wants to replace everything from the stock flex pipes back. He said leaving the flex pipes (which have counterweights on them) in there will reduce vibration and problems down the road. he is then going to run 2.25 into the Magnaflow X pipe and then 2.25 back to the mufflers and do a little adjusting and fabrication on the muffler mounts to make everything work. I am really excited, cant wait to hear it. The only problem is the said they are only open til 2PM today so if they run a little long I wouldn't get it back until Monday which is kind of upsetting because I made sure it was there when they opened at 8AM and confirmed two separate times that leaving it on a Saturday would be no problem...Well Ill keep crossing my fingers and hopefully Ill be updating in a few hours!!

Grrr I was so mad on Saturday; I called at 1PM and said to the girl at the counter, "hey I dont want to bother the tech, but do you think he is going to get it done today?" She told me that he didnt want to rush it and it looked like it was probably going to run into Monday...Of course I want the best job done so as anxious as I was, I really just had to accept it. Im just ticked that I called last week to MAKE SURE that Saturday would allow enough time to get the job done otherwise I would have made arrangements to drop it off on a normal weekday; looks like I waited til Saturday for nothing I am hoping to pick the car up before noon today and will try to take some crappy iPhone videos and pictures since I dont own a good camera. I cant wait for the phone call!!

Well I just took my lunch and went and picked it up. First impressions upon start were WOW this thing has an aftermarket exhaust!! It fired up and purred. I didnt want to sit in the shop's parking lot revving my car so I just drove away. Honestly I really didnt even get a chance to hear it, I headed straight back to the office and punched it a few times on the way. I would say that there is a fair amount of drone tho; you can definitely tell when you are on and off the throttle inside the car. It hums pretty good so I am going to see how things go after it breaks in a little. I would say that the exhaust is not super loud on full throttle, I can definitely hear the engine roar over the pipes at high RPM. I am going to find an empty lot to do some revs in so I can hear what it sounds like a little more.
