Unfortunately I don't have my own dyno so I am at the mercy of the shop I go to's schedule, but the dynos most likely wont be more than a day apart. I personally think its better not to do it back to back anyway, although some would argue against me. I think the ECU on this car needs a little bit of driving around to learn the new mods. Plus the weather here in Vegas is consistent. Dry and anywhere between 108 and 111 degrees all this week.

I know people are anxious to hear it, but I am not going to install and un-install it just to get a quick video put up a day earlier than I am going to anyway. Sorry if that pisses anyone off.
Mike,
I think Bryan might have a clip of the exhaust with x-pipe, at Idle and revving, maybe you can get him to post it up before things get ugly, LOL IMO a lot of people on here (not all) are more interested in the sound/tone of the exhaust. On a daily driver, a good part of the driving enjoyment is the tone of the exhaust and engine. Most aftermarket exhaust are going to be pretty close in added hp numbers, somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-10hp. Me personally, I would sacrifice 5hp less for a better sounding exhaust. Of course if it was like 20hp difference, then maybe I would re-consider. but I don't think that will be the case. If there were 3 exhaust systems with only a 5hp difference in power, I would think people would tend to go with the one that sounds most pleasing to them.
