Default back with headers and cats

Well, picked my car last thursday.

Boos Performance did a great job with the install. I do recommend them.

Below are the final numbers.

This scan is from the dyno day on 4/22 - Stock except blackwing and borla stingers



This scan is from thursday - added ceramic coated TPIS headers, Random HF cats and xpipe, and custom tune by Boos. John does tune for real world driving conditions and did not tune on the dyno. This appealed to me more.



I am not sure what that blip is at the end? :-?

Overall I picked up 33hp to wheels and 27 torque

The second dyno was at a different place though so I cannot really compare apples to apples.

The sound is alot meaner and louder in 1-4 and I can definately feel the increase in performance. What I really like though is that the sound is the same as before in 5th and 6th gear. I was afraid I might pick up some drone.

Any other questions, let me know

Mike
