exhaust on

I finished up my SS downpipe and Greddy Evo cat back last night and man I love the sound. Not too loud just a nice rumble, I have yet to put a boost gauge on but it feels like my 2nd turbo is kicking in harder now, anyone experience this?

i think "scare the **** out of you" is a little bit of an overstatement, unless your talking about being scared of a blown engine from boost creep

Before you put the pedal to the metal,...make sure you install a boost gauge. It will save your engine.

True in most cases however, after installing an Apexi N1 dual on a friends car, we COULDN'T keep the boost down.. Soon as it transitioned it went near 15psi.. All it had was an intake DP and the exhaust.. Not common I don't think, but it does happen!

Yeah no kidding.. To this day I can't figure it out. It was uncontrollable, to say the least.
