Thank´s for your reply!

With rear catalysts in place I guess you will pass smog regulations,
but gain less.. Or you could replace them with race gear..

K&N´s are difficult things, people tend to overoil them and at the
wrong side as well!!
In my opinion they are very sensitive but you
will gain without MAF problems IF you treat them just right..

The intakes on a C55 in the front just suck dirt, the filters need
a lot of care! Often unfortunately.

The one thing I hate about those downtown neighborhoods is the lack of a back yard. And the fact that a 900 SF 85 yr old house in Wallingford is $500,000 Still... no Eastside for me!

Btw- Where are you getting the car serviced these days?

The c55 runs clean enough without any cats that it will pass a smog check as long as you don't have a CEL.

Yeah...no thanks on a tiny house in wallingford for me. I'd rather live out in the burbs and commute a little further to have a nicer house.

I get my service done at barrier because my friend is a used car service manager and master tech there. They take good care of you.

Actually, isn't tump or something like that the n/a whp champ? I remember someone had a modded intake manifold along with the same mods I had but then he had a host of other problems so I shied away from doing more mods.

For your VA loan, did you get a favorable rate because of it? I need to start filling out the information to get the certificate.



My opinion on a VA loan is that its only needed if you will owe more than 80% of the value of the house or have bad credit and need some help. If you have financial trouble later it could help you as well. If your going 0 down and will owe more than 80% the biggest benefit is that you dont have to pay private morgage insurance, helped me out because as soon as the market went down, that means you will pay PMI even longer. Other than that the banks will treat you no different as far as rates and everything else is the same, just more paperwork and rules to go by like you cant rent your house out for the first 2 years. If you have a fat down payment and good credit I'd avoid it since you dont need it and dont need the extra time consuming paperwork.
