Started it up yesterday with open exhaust. Wow!!What a nasty sound. Funny thing is the VQ hiss is still there but you get to hear the true nature of it without mufflers and resonators. I tried a shortcut wiring up the wideband AFR and boost controller by daisychaining with the other gauges through the OEM harness and it did'nt work. So I have to do that part over. The only snag after startup was that as I was enjoying the fact it was alive , I had a massive fuel leak from the return line connection at the fuel pump. When I went over all the connections checking and rechecking I did'nt think to recheck the return line because I had already buttoned it up. I guess during the struggle of the install I was so defeated I closed it up because I was just happy it was over. The connector was finger tight. I have to work today and tommorow but the exhaust will be welded today and I'll rewire the AFR and Boost controller on Friday then button up the engine bay and put the bumper back on. Should be able to tune it next week.
