Exhaust installed and tuned

Just got back from MTI Racing. I got LG Street Series Headers with high flow cats, X pipe and Borla stinger exhaust. Got new wires and plugs as well cause old ones were shot and added a Low Temp Thermostat. Had new rear O2 sensors installed in the front. Just want to say the car sounds amazing now. Little loud but i love it that way. The car also got tuned by Reese at MTI and he did a phenomenal job tuning the car. The guys at MTI did an awesome job on the car so I will definitely be taking the car back there for future performance mods. Here is the dyno graph.

Nice gain over the whole curve.

I bet the car feels MUCH stouter on the street.
Congrats!

is it typical that you only pick up ~25hp and 19 TQ?

I thought the numbers were more in the 40 hp gain....

Thanks. It feels so much faster now. That is an awesome gain IMO. Those numbers are for a before and after from the tune.

You made more power than I did in the end, but are the red numbers pre-tune or pre-all of it?
