You should call Kevin at UMW...he will answer all of your questions.

I have spoken to Kevin. Great fellow.

At this point I'm only interested in what the dyno says.

Baby steps...

I said I was going to take baby steps too, and I did, for awhile...

Gotta keep your foot on the brake.

I think I am showing great restraint, but every time I speak with Kevin I can feel that going out the window.

Did you get your exhaust on? Curious what you think!

Man, sucks. I went out for a drive yesterday and was simply thinking about how intoxicating my new Ti unit is. We're looking forward to your review!

Funny thing is that I know exactly where it is, if only they would let me into the warehouse...

Turned some wrenches today. I got my new exhaust in about 1:00, had to wait until the storms passed, then threw it in. I thought that the bands were going to be terrible to put on but they were very easy. Overall I'd say pretty easy job to do it by yourself with these cars. I went with the FVD catless and really enjoy the sound even though it is only the first day and it will change a little as it ages. It has a nice rumble at idle, no drone, and screams when the spurs are put to it. Very happy with the purchase.


It's pretty nice to be able to change an exhaust with just ramps.

All nice and shinny.

It came with a "born on date". A little over two weeks old.

Pulled the center console and adjusted the shift cables. The one on the passenger side was off by like 2 notches. Put it back together and can't tell any difference. I had had some issue getting into 3rd at my last track day, had to hunt around to get it. No issues on the street. Hope this will help.

I/we am/are truly blessed (after crazy hard work) to have the cars I/we love.
Let's give thanks.
