I thought it was best to put it all back oem - so they'll drop off the fabspeed mufflers and black tips. I will be selling them for cheap

yep picked car up friday evening. install went smoothly no surprises. 300 mile break in required so i hit one of my favorite loops on saturday: 101 south to long beach peninsula watched the seahawks came back sunday WA side of the river. gorgeous drive. got a ticket outside of raymond for my troubles . pleasantly surprised with the X51–more noticeable throughout the revs than i had expected after reading all the info out there. overall car is a touch angrier in character–which i was hoping for.

Sorry to hear of the ticket! I guess that is a great initiation for your X51 though Sounds like a wonderful trip and glad to hear it's able to be felt in the power department - your description is appreciated. I love it. Way to go.

Congrats on new x-51, you get to drive the maid of honor at our next rally/tour in February if you want. The one today was a real screamer. 475 curves in 95 miles. Get benchmark to put in a escort 9500ci if u want to drive without fear of LEO.
