Just curious why did you go mid-length as opposed to full-length headers?

Default Mid-length headers

The reason why I picked American Racing mid length headers cuz in the beginning I didn't want to void my warranty with a tune

Had a feeling that was the reason.

You're doing a magi swap and worried about your warranty?

Default American Racing shorty headers

I have an air box American Racing shorty headers with high-flow cats Corsica x-pipe and Magnaflow exhaust just had it on a dyno make 615 horsepower at the wheels 638 pounds of torque and it was still running rich so how do you say I still need a tune

You plan on swapping back to all stock parts every time you have to go to the dealer for warranty work?

Default Supercharger replacement

I know once the Magnuson supercharger is installed I will have to go and get it tuned I live on the east coast so I'm surrounded by a lot of good tuners

Was it a direct swap ?
same belt drive , just unplug old unit and bolt in the new 2300 ?

Did you have to reuse any of the sensors or stuff from old 1740 unit ?


reason i ask is that i have traded my old 1740 unit to another guy, need to find out if any parts has to ordered extra....
