Update, sorta...

As some of you saw, new Amuse exhaust is now installed. No videos yet, gotta find myself some cash to get a GoPro HD cam, or link up with some members here and borrow one. Enjoying the exhaust quite a bit. As someone who came from a Fast Intentions system, it's definitely...different. Much quieter in the cabin, but still howls like a demon with the taps open. I love it; the pipes are starting to burn in a little too, so that's some extra amusement for me I'll take shots the next time the car's up (probably to install the midpipe heading this way).

For those of you who have been hiding under a damn rock, here's the link, with pictures and dyno vids / results: Amuse R1 Titan Extra STTI Exhaust - Review (pics/vids/dyno)

Next exhaust upgrade: R1 Titan Midpipe. Yep, full amuse from the cat-back, go figure. SACLAM might make a better midpipe, but I'm sticking to my guns here. And Amuse isn't complaining either, judging from the hole they're ripping in my wallet.

Still nothing compared to what Tony's spent I'll refrain from obvious jokes

Yesterday was a BIG day though, because Mike@370ztune reported that the Vestito kit is in! Thanks to Ai and Mike for setting up a near immediate pickup, and Winnie out at the warehouse for helping me out with everything.

Now Mike took some good shots of the kit in its raw form: Amuse Vestito "Raw"

Now I don't exactly have a big *** warehouse at home...so I had to be more creative in storage until this weekend Sorry, camera phone pics only, but meh they're not final shots anyway

Yippee!


Holy sh*t it filled up my Suburban! The boxes were massive, couldn't take them home


Strewn about my garage...





So the schedule for the next month or so:
-Get car stuck in body shop to install kit
-Get Lou to provide me a certain missing part
-Get Marco / Ryan to work on my headlights while car is stuck in body shop

Not gonna have the car to play with for a while, it seems.

One question for everybody. I don't have a lick of 'brilliant silver' anywhere on the car except for the handles. What should I do with them? Color match? Matte black? Bit of both!?
