Nameless EL, 4.88 Final Drive, E85 Moto Tuned

Car drives amazing. Had won FTD for N/A.

The purpose of this thread is to show what the car can sound like with an EL header and a 4.88 FD on a short track stint.

for your enjoyment.

Actual Run starts at 1:40

Butt Dyno feels great! Even with 4 passengers and full cargo in the trunk I still have peak torque at 4K rpm to push me along (78MPH at 4krpm in 6th gear wherever that speed limit is allowed)

You are correct! I can still do 3rd gear but it ends pretty quickly. 4th is where it happens now.

City driving its nice to get you up to peak torque quickly to get you moving especially in traffic behind some annoying people. I feel more torque after this FD. For the highway the same happens there. With these uncatted headers, motiv catted front pipe, stock midpipe and TRD axleback w/muffler I can still go on a 12 hour journey without my ears ringing or giving me a headache.

VERY FUNNY! I liked that. While I hate vertical videos myself my mount that I was using prevented me from getting a good viewing angle while horizontal. Need a GoPro again!

I also have a EL header and 4.88s but in an Auto. Love the sound of the EL and the performance of the 4.88s.
I'm the black #24 FRS in this video.

Sounds great. I love how snappy the auto gear changes are. Reminds me of the DSG I had in my GTI.
