Thanks, the spool and howl off idle is one of my favorite parts. It sounds "legit."

Thanks Victor, too bad I am not around to show it to you in person.

Personally it doesn't bother me but there definitely are fumes, it is just part of the combustion engine game.

Is that a resonator in the middle there? If so what one is it? I'm going to follow this setup as much as possible, sounds FANTASTIC!!

While driving out to Vegas for SEMA a switched by backend from BMS E85 Hybrid to BMS pump to make fuel stops more convenient. The older pump flash uses an open wg cold start so here is my wagon at 100% Cold Start.

Also some rough idle presumably from failing injectors. I get a fuel mixture control code along with a few misfiring cylinders. I will be getting some newer index injectors to go in with some new NGKs.

Muffler deletes are a great starting point but if I had to do it all over again, knowing I would end up where I am now, I would start with downpipes and removing secondary c-converters, leaving the oem resonator and muffler. I think that would be the best compromise between performance, increased sound, and minimal drone. This would also retain the can-flap valve in the oem muffler and if you have a JB4 you could control the valve being open or closed as you please.

Evan[/QUOTE]

If you remove the secondary c-converters will the dealership void the warranty for the HPFP? BTW If I heard the turbos spooling on your car everyday I would not be mad lol.
