Default Installed my Halltech Stinger

It came yesterday and I started immediately. I got to tell ya I had sooooo much fun taking out the old airbox and putting in the Warhead and new airbridge. (Dave's) instructions were great. Dave and Jim at Halltech answered any and all dumb questions I had also. I took the car out for about 1 hr ride at various speeds and Rpm's. The car is STRONG and the exhaust actually sounds cooler (Corsa Indy with X Pipe).

Great product and you don't have to be a long time mechanic to do it either. If you are afraid to tackle things on this car (Don't be). I used to be afraid but now I do everything on this car. It's fun and you too can do the little things.(I know my boundaries)

Congrats on the Stinger! I installed mine a little over a week ago. Just took a ride down to Key West and it performed beautifully. Definitely worth the $$ to get.

Air intake changes provide so much bang for the buck. Glad you're happy with it.

This is certainly the most cost-effective mod for a C5. 10+ Rear Wheel Horsepower after an hour or less install - unbeatable, IMO.

Congrats and welcome to the Stinger club.

Hey Dave, I can't remember if you ever got dyno numbers before and after the cool air mod. I would be curious to see how much verifiable difference the CAI makes.
