Why are the numbers grinded off? What are you trying to hide?

something else for 2006
for use in 3rd and 4rth gear only



-

at 14 PSI I ran
11.7@119
on DR's (semi tuned)

I then turned up to the boost to 20
and got it tuned

and I could not keep the car straight (squated like CRAZY!)
with its stock suspension and chassis
letting of in the middle of 3rd gear
and then trying to hit the gas again
only to repeat the process
7.26 in the 1/8th
with a 1.48 60' (et streets with stock radials up front)
122MPH

Car is at a shop right now
had them install AGX all around now
with Ground Control coilovers
8 point roll bar is installed already too

still need ALOT of stuff done/buy
waiting for my 4.30 gears
and then need to get some driveshaftshop axles
cryo treat the half shafts

get a drag specific alignment
buy 15x10, 15x5 weld racing rims
etc
etc
etc
etc

Looks like a Precision turbo. Is that an S-trim on the exhaust wheel? What's the cold side look like?

very annoying loud

added a 5x8 oval magnaflow in the middle
OMG! did a make a diffrence made the tone more deep and mellow

So future is
4" dp straight to a single magnaflow muffler

Yeah, I had a 5x8 oval magnaflow on my old catback and I thought it sounded great. My new setup will be pretty similar to yours, 4" DP but I'm gonna run 2 oval mufflers, I might try the 5x11's to quite it down some more.
