ECUTek, and at the time I had an Airaid Intake...which actually has been since proven to reduce horsepower...it's since been removed but I'm waiting for my Perrin CAI before I go back to the dyno for a Re-Tune.

I am on the opposite coast so no...I don't have any recommendations.

The Dyno I go to is a DynoDynamics which is known as the best dyno for tuning purposes because it is one of the most consistent and accurate dyno's. However it is also known as the "Heart Breaker" dyno because it reads horsepower 10% to 20% lower than a DynoJet, DynaPak or Mustang Dyno. For instance my baseline dyno run gave a peak of 140hp which on a DynoJet would have been around 160hp or more. After the Perrin Cat-Back and tune it was 152hp which is around 180hp on a DynoJet. We'll see what it goes up to when I throw on the Perrin CAI.

It took me maybe 1.5 hours...and I was going slow taking pictures of everything. I broke the v-band clamp by accidentally reading inch-lbs as foot-lbs and over tightening the clamp.

That's decent timing. I'm just waiting for my catback to be delivered. I'm anxiously waiting lol. N how many inch-lbs are you supposed to tighten it now that we're at it?

75 Foot Pounds?!

I need an in-lb torque wrench. Had to put mine together with my "calibrated feel" heh. Somehow, I don't think my 20-150 ft-lb wrench is approprate.

Yeah, I had a big ol torque wrench as well. Hand tightened it the first time around and had a vibration through a leak somewhere. Ran over to Harbor Freight and got this cheapo 5-80 lb 3/8 Torque Wrench: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eig...rench-807.html

Everything tightened to spec and no more leak.

I just installed mine, and cold start is loud! but I love it though, its perfect, not too loud but not quiet. It feels a lot smoother too. Only thing is, did anyone notice there are these black sharpie marker-like mark on the exhaust tips?
