CEL turned on but sending ecu out soon to turn that off. So with tune i should be gaining some power also!! i wish you guys could here this in person, it is absolutley ridiculous. If i cant find a video by tomorrow morning, i will strap a go pro to the back of the car and go for a ride.

Nice! I ran no cats for a week, the sound was amazing especially WOT on the freeway. I got tired of the smell though...
Can't wait for those vids!

Looking good!
I would be curious to see some dyno numbers on a built n/a 550 car:
intake mods (clean up the stock air intake box), headers (custom long tube), head back mods, and a good tune. Do you think you could get 400RWHP out of this n/a????

Are you still running the secondaries? My primaries are gone and I tossed a set of 100 cell metal core cats in the secondary locations, it mellowed the sound out and eliminated the drone, car sounds like a beast now.

the only thing left on my exhaust is a magnaflow xpipe muffler in place of where the secondaries used to be. other than that, its just pipes

When I was running shortie headers, primary cats a the one Magnaflow the drone was so bad I parked the car for a week until I could get it changed. Im shocked yours is okay, guess the OEM manifolds really mellow it down. Get that GoPro going dude

Video didnt come out as good as i thought. probably becuase my friend doesnt have the hd one... im gonna get the microphone thing and put it next to my exhaust tips. Tomorrow ill also have somebody use my actual camera and take a flyby video that things takes better video and is better at capturing sound

and heres a video i took with my dslr for a car that i did a shoot for last week. Its blurry but you definatley hear the sound better.

What is this smell you are talking about when the primaries are removed?
