I experienced my first lack of power today. My car has about 27,000 miles.
If it is the IC pump failure, will the lack of power be consistent like it wont regain power?
Because I do get power back after I let the car rest a bit...when I got home, I filled the windshield washer fluid bottle to the top (I got the IC upgrade from evosport) hoping its because of having insufficient liquid in the windshield bottle causing the supercharger shutdown.

It was just scary how it felt like a c240 on the highway!

This exhaust is made by german company called MH Dezent. But their usa distributor is a company called InTech Performance.

I originally purchased the exhaust for $3,000 but that was 3 years ago when 1 euro = 0.8 or 0.9 dollars. Now 1 euro = 1.3 dollars. I called last week to get the price of this exhaust, and they told me $4,100 --->

Yes over 4 grand for an exhaust

But like I said, I will (most likely) have it removed because vadim said it is way too restrictive for my mods.

I may end up selling it if you're interested ???

I did a couple runs with my car today and figured that it shouldnt be my IC pump failure. I suspect the car is leaking coolant because everytime I fill the windshield washer tank up, the fluid gets consumed up real fast.

Going to the dealer on monday to have it checked out.
