We also test drove their demonstartor at our visit. It was equipped with the same exhaust as I have on mine, but also with their new powerpipe.
The powerpipe is installed instead of the OEM middle muffler.
The sound is increadible. Very hard and sporty ( like a F430 ) when accelerating at higher revs, but still acceptably comfortable at normal revs.
It will be installed on my car in a couple of weeks!!!

Those are huge wheels! Did you have the suspension modified so you don't have any rubbing problem, particularly in the rear?

[/quote]Cidair, very nice result... Now your wheels will not look small and the sound will eventually be stronger (than the others)! One question, what are the weight of each of the wheels (front/rear)?
