JDL UEL + OpenFlash Tablet Stage 2 + Tomei Type 80

=

what a change these things make

Install
basic and straight forward. take the old pieces off, put the new ones on. nuts and bolts and ratchets and spanners. load up a stage 2 tune and flash it. easy stuff no hiccups. probably 2 hour-ish total

Initial Impressions
from before (all stock exhaust except a perrin overpipe) to after (JDL UEL, perrin overpipe, stock front pipe, tomei type 80)
big change in sound, finally sounds like a subie, alot more vibrations, a little bit of drone, really bassy, deep. liveable while crusing, WOT it just screams especially past 5k. can feel more torque where the dip used to be. i wouldnt say it fixed the dip but it definitely improved it. top end pulls slightly better than stock, no crazy difference. butt dyno is impressed

from before to after flash
didnt bother with stage 1 went straight to stage 2. WOW big transformation. whole rpm range feels smoother, no hesitation when slamming on the gas, more throttle response, downshifts just seem to snap into place. the power, oh man. top end compared to before tune pulls harder and wants to rev out. revving out 3rd gear feels like stock 2nd gear. Mid range has so much more torque. breaks traction with alot less effort sideways and straight (im on fairly sticky 245s). compared to stock, its like a different engine. butt dyno is happy

Conclusion
worth the money. changed the way the car drives and sounds completely. thanks to @shiv@vishnu and @JDLAutoDesign and Tomei for making quality parts

Media
the good stuff

datalog for those that are interested
http://www.datazap.me/u/andrew5826/o...0&data=1-2-4-8

to me the tune looks solid. AFR looks a little rich but better rich than a hitch. maybe someone with more experience can analyze it and spot something

the drone isnt bad at all. cruising with a light foot you can just hear the exhaust. although engine braking between 2k-3k you can really feel the exhaust pulses through the firewall and can get irritating

I might have to get myself a 60s, hopefully that won't be too loud. These titanium exhausts are too sexy to pass up! you should make a longer video of the Tomei!

Sexy ass combo bro! I know video clips don't do justice of the orgasmic sound of your setup, but is there a possibility that you do like a drive by sound clip or video?! For instance, perhaps a friend can record you while you drive by or launch the car. I'd really like to listen to the rumble haha.

You should post the videos, on your Instagram ....I work offshore, on an oil rig, in the Gulf of Mexico. The company I work for, has blocked Youtube...They have not blocked Instagram, yet. I'd really appreciate it. Please shoot me a PM, on here, when and if you do post them to Instagram...Thanks.
