Did a heat shield/exhaust wrap, new gaskets. Had to raise the engine a bit like everyone else. Lower undercarriage body shielding is a PITA. SRT cat back is louder in WOT, some of the annoying drone is gone away now. Cruises very nicely and not loud at all at steady RPM. But, it now comes alive in the upper RPM range. Highly recommend the MOTIV overpipe and downpipes!!!

Next install will be the Perrin cat back....had to hear the MOTIV with the SRT first!!!!

I was wondering why It smells like burnt hair. I did up the magnetic sleeve did read that book been up non-stop since yesterday. I don't run it hard not pass 5k, all these civics and mustangs want to race, I try not to over due myself or Mona. Yeah that raven is Badass. I can't wait for my 12" Pioneer Pro Sub 3.5k watts and Berk Cat back exhaust! This forum is awesome, motivating and very informative. The burn hair smell I think is coming from the belt and plastics, being broken in, fluids look good. Yeah next month car will be ready for Retama park!

This was a totally different crew that aren't on the Forum. I just thought I would give some guys here the heads up about it.
