I think @MokSpeed was saying they ordered the tires he wanted, but since they weren't on their website, they just priced them to a similar tire they do carry.

You could be correct, appears I might have read what I wanted and not what was there.

It happens.

Just curious...are you still on the stock primacies? Because they are warrantied by Michelin up to 35,000 miles. If you're still under that and your tires are worn out go to a Sears and have them call the warranty in. You can get a brand new set of tires for around $200.

They are sitting in my garage. I will not be using them again unless its my only option.

Anybody have experience with OFT + OFH?

I'm entertaining the idea of a bolt on setup involving both. However, after reading on all the tunes and the minimal gains people see, I may just hold off seeing as I plan on going forced induction once my warranty is up.

I have OFT, but not OFH. I got borla UEL, and the gain is about the same as ECUTek, and get better with E85. If you are looking into SC then OFT also has a deal with Vortech

How is the throttle response in low to mid range RPMs for you? Does it feel like the loss of torque in our mid RPMs are no longer as significant?

Im running the oft stage 2 uel 93 oct tune with a tsudo header. Definitely a nice little bump in power.

[Joeprelude]

I haven't had a torque dip issue since my first tune

I started out with the OFT and added the OFH a little over a month ago. LOVE the combination! Torque dip is essentially gone and the car screams (audibly and power) from 4500 RPM on. I'm using the 91 Octane Stage 2 UEL tune (still need to download the 93 Octane tune).


I'm running the OFH and full Perrin header-back w/resonated front pipe. Love the sound. It can be a touch annoying when accelerating in the lower RPM range but there's no highway drone and mid- and upper-range sounds so good it's worth the increase in volume (just say goodbye to any hopes of using Bluetooth with your phone).


The car finally feels fast enough to match its looks. I'm actually putting on wider wheels next as I'm losing grip too often for my liking.


I no longer find myself wishing for more power.

Anyone else interested in the dfw spring cruise scouting run? We are going this sunday and the weather should be great!

Don't know if this is too much of a reach but do you have any definite numbers you could post or PM me? I'm just weighing my options and seeing which route is best to go for my performance goals. Glad to hear the OFT/OFH combo yields noticeable results though!

I haven't been on a dyno yet. I'm not terribly concerned with hard numbers; I just want it to feel how I want. It catches me by surprise sometimes now; never did that before. I'm actually upgrading to wider wheels to get more grip as I'm tired of breaking it loose.

That's the best I can offer. 😊
