Default Completed my bolt-on's

Let the bashing begin ! First I added Borla X-pipe, next Mamo ported throttle body, then came Edgyvette ported intake manifold and last Vararam cai. Don't know how much horse power if any but car idles smoother and accelerates much quicker and easier. Noticed improvements with each addition in sound and performance which I know at this point is only sop ! Not sure if car is faster but is definitely quicker ! Will be getting it dyno tuned as soon as I can get an appointment !

Why would anyone bash? All those mods seem reasonable to me.

Would really like to see what the synopsis says as I'm considering similar parts. Would you mind posting a soundclip when you get a chance? Thanks bro.

Usually I get a lecture on how I waisted my money, none of these mods add any horse power, I should have just gone directly for a tune etc etc etc !!!!!

I went your same route but added LT headers as well. Love the way the car runs and sounds.
