Renn Tech Sound and Performance pipes

Well, I decided to go with the Renn Tech upgrades, this is the first upgrade and I just ordered the Headers, ECU and CF Air box, here is quick video I took, it sounds amazing, especially above 2,000 rpms. Hope this Video works, first time uploading a Video

Todd, the upload worked well and I bet the sound is incredible above 2k but this vid doesn't show it. Wind that engine out a bit! I know that it's limited at 3k but push on that gas pedal!

Did you do before and after dyno's? If so, can you post 'em?

It does sound somewhat conservative. Didn't notice much of a difference in sound. Maybe he needs to break it in?

I would I magine that you would have to rev your motor a lot higher for anyone to defrentiate between stock and your car. It sounds very nice, but you really cant tell from this video. It sounds pretty much the same as stock.

All

This is a new install and does not include the headers, just the deletes of the secondary cats. It sounds amazing above 2000 rpms, especially when on full throttle, absolutely more sound when compared to stock, very intoxicating.

I ordered the Renn Tech headers last week, should arrive in 6 to 7 weeks, will post after the install.

Did you notice on L4P how everyone said, "Sounds fantastic!, Great! Love it."?

And over here the response was ... dare I say it, more real world.

When you want the unvarnished truth, it's MBW. (At least no one attacked you!)
Those guys at L4P sure make you feel good though.
