It sure did feel like Christmas, man that thing sounds sweet. Cannot wait to see dyno results. It has a nice shake to it sitting there idling.

I'm glad to hear that you have your car up and running again. You're going to be just as pleased with the performance gain as you are with the great sound.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance. We're always here to help!
