I like the way your exhausts sound, too. Just the right amount of aggression for me.

Thank you! You really can't go wrong either way, both are very clean executions.

o/p - Fantastic job. Looks fantastic and sounds even better. I would need a back seat, love the wiper.
I appreciate your modaholicness. Your shop is wonderfully OCD. But really you need a Mobile 1 sticker on your new trunk lid.
The sign of a great OCD shop is that they obviously don't bill you for all the OCD hours. They be too rich, and you'd be too poor.
Great job, with fair pricing.

Thank you, and yes I agree, the sticker has been on my to-do list!

Maybe you can mod the sticker too - using a Motul or DT40 one instead

Very well done and looks awesome. Reminds me of my car

I'm also considering the same seats. They are forward foldable so people can get into the rear seats, right?

What type of engine performance (hP/torque) gains are you experiencing with the mods? I believe you started wiht the base 3.6L 325HP motor?

I'd have to dig up my old dyno sheet but it was something like 25-30hp from the exhaust, flywheel and software mods. Haven't dyno'd it since the addition of the GT3 throttle body, plenum, and pulley.

Really like your car. The aesthetic mods seem well balanced, and result in a stunning look and presence. Nice work.
