How's the sound on the canon Steve? I love the look of those.
It’s a decent bit louder than the Tanabe Medallion that was removed and that’s with the two silencers installed… but the Tanabe is a quiet cat back exhaust IMO.
I took the silencers out and drove around and it’s super loud.
Went around the block and the wife said she could hear me the whole time and empathize she ain’t riding in it like that….. lol
Ill get some video's of driving around the block.

I got my rolling anti lag set up last year too. Like you said, able to make 10+ pounds instantly. It is super fun, definitely adds a little bit to giving rides to friends.
Went to another Cars & Coffee at Ford Garage on Sunday.
This one is local, 10mins from the house. Was a great turn out, some super clean cars came out.
Also, she's running awesome, been keeping boost around 24psi, with some 30psi pulls every now and then.
The EFR 8374 just comes on so quick the rears just spin at higher boost... still fun!!
And I'll be doing some maintenance for Deals Gap Rotary Rally in April.
Went last Saturday on a rotary cruise and then BBQ at a good buddy's house.
It was a great time out with the group of rotaries..... here's some pics below
Car developed an exhaust leak last month. I thought it was from the T4 gasket, where the turbo and manifold meet....but turned out to be stripped stud on the housing.
Not sure how it became stripped cause it was fine when I installed the turbo but that was years ago. Ima fix-it with a heli coil.
Then fluid changes and we DGRR 2026 ready!
Turbo out......
Stripped stud hole....... its oily here

Had some free time to work on the FD and dammit more issues found
Separated the turbo and manifold to put fresh T4 gasket and found these cracks.
I found the T4 gasket was blown out too
This is one of the original welded shorty manifold,
I've had it for about +6yrs.and its been running 22+psi for last 2yrs.
Currently not sure I'll be able to go to DGRR 2026 in the car.
Gonna look at my options... new cast shorty manifold or get this one fixed.
T4 Gasket blown out.

That's a bummer, Steve. Definitely a deal breaker unless you have the ability to act quickly and put it all back together, but I do think that manifold will crack again if it's welded. I found a bunch of cracks in my welded IRP IWG manifold when I had my car apart in 2023 and had them welded up. The car has developed a small exhaust leak and when I inspected it I found it cracked about .25" where to pipes join to go into the T4 flange. I chose to run it and go to DGRR instead of taking it apart last minute, I'd need to redo a lot of things to change turbo manifolds.
If you've got the time you can get that resolved in the next few days. Weld the manifold, get a new multilayer T4 flange gasket, and time-sert or helicoil that manifold stud. Then you can run the car, enjoy it, and make plans that aren't rushed!

That sucks Steve! I guess you could do a weld repair on the manifold in time, get a new gasket & helicoil the stud for the DGRR trip, but the weld fix probably won't be a permanent solution.
That was quick, you going to have time to have the manifold coated or anything before?
Nah.. wish I could but no time too.. just sending it.

Thx Bro! Yeah we'll be there!
I got the heli coil kit off of Amazon and was able to drill out the hole then tap and add the heli coil.
It was fairly straight easy job, but I was stressed because of the time crunch to get it back together for DGRR.
Anyone wondering the heli coil kit is M10X1.5 if you're needing to fix an exhaust stud.
Tapping the drilled-out hole.
All back together with Turbosource cast shorty.
Drove around today testing out the car and everything checks out great.
Excited to be back up and running! YES!
