i dunno, for me personally it's a huge tool. For example, our whole Ducati Owners Club is a private group on facebook, we have a pretty cool little group with Jim Glickenhaus, his engineer Garella, and quite a few well-known automotive industry guys regularly contributing to a private group on FB.. not to mention business groups i belong to who want to communicate with more flexibility than linkedin offers.

there are a few soccer moms amongst my friends and i do also love keeping up with family and friends around the world.

CAlexio - that overhead shot of your Spyder is awesome. Unique POV.

I was making a bad joke. I'm sure it's useful for a lot of people.

Makes you stay patient on the throttle (like a mini-Monaco tunnel) before spitting you out onto 19th and another tunnel. Top down.. Rev her past 4K so valves open up... Fabspeed headers blaring.. It's like gods own symphony. OMFG I LOVE THIS CAR.

Did you change the exhaust or just do the headers? I'm thinking of doing the Fabspeed GT450 package minus the exhaust as I like the way the stock exhaust sounds.

I just have the headers.. and i'm very very happy with them. quiet with PSE off below 4000rpm, appropriately loud above 4000rpm, and really good torque increases in the midrange. however.. i'm considering the exhaust because I now have the plenum and tb to install.. so for sake of completion of a nice open system i'm considering the whole shebang.
