I wanted to do that, but as @congiiee mentioned the wait for the kit is excruciating...and I had this shiny new exhaust just sitting in my living room.

For everybody that NEEDS to see a dyno bone stock I plan to do it this Wednesday at Ptuning. Probably will need an appointment lol. If not next week for sure. Tomorrow I will try to do some data logging and submit it to John to refine the tune if it needs it.

BTW for anybody in the NoVA area that wants to see it in person just pm me. I'd ask for some beer in return but I'm not old enough

[NorseLegend]

I just realized you said you were in NoVA! That's awesome! I'm hoping to see you around Katie's C&C or the Friday meets at Chik Fil A near Dulles Towncenter!

...That is if you're near the Leesburg/Sterling Area...

*UPDATE*
On my original post I left a few things out.

MPG?: Well after three days of driving the car I have noticed that I do get higher MPG when driving the car responsively (<3000rpm). I don't think that I have lost much city miles either. Its possible that I may have lost 1 or 2 but it is offset by the 2-4 mpg I have gained from highway cruising. If I were to put numbers down driving below 3000rpm I'd get around 28-29 mpg and this is 75% highway and 25% city. On the other hand, when I am driving like a maniac or "aggressively passing" I get around 24-26 mpg.

stock wheels/tires?: Okay so I have mentioned above that I have kept my car's nanny systems on. With it on, my wheels/tires are perfectly fine. It's still possible to spin the tires a bit but the traction control easily gets it back on track. I have not tried driving without traction control nor have I tried to launch the car. But besides that fact, even with traction control on it is still very fast and enjoyable to drive. Much safer too...for now until I get wider wheels and tires.

Congrats! We need more pictures though. Also, I'd blur out the address on the box in the original post.

Good call. Did not realize how good iPhone 5 photos are. UPDATED

Congratz man!! Definitely in for bone stock dyno on this kit

[DBacon1052]

Damn... I was hoping someone resized the pics

[Foobar]

No auto/mechanical experience whatsoever and you installed this yourself? Damn - kudos to you and congrats on a job well done!

I have the tools/know-how to do this, and I'm still thinking about hiring someone to do it for me just so I don't have to! LOL

You've inspired me to just go ahead and do it myself... Guess it's time to send Visconti more money.

[xxscaxx]

Its always a learning experience/way more fun to do it yourself. Yes there can be frustration and headaches, but its worth it to stand back and say you did it, and didn't pay for someone to do it.

Plus, i'm cheap and don't see a point in wasting money on installation costs when i'm capable No but really, just being an enthusiast, I enjoy learning the car as I work on it.
