Also, Anthony from TVT is a stand up guy and very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable with him from the first time I spoke to him. And, from the time I dropped my car off to him, he followed through on every single thing he promised and said he would do. He even went above and beyond on a number of small issues he found with the car.
If anyone is considering using TVT in the future, feel free to contact me personally for a more in depth review of them. ANd, if you would like to see or take a ride in my car, I am more than happy to help out.

The stock E55 exhaust piping measures 70mm (i.e., 2.75"). The only place it's smaller is where it bolts to the exhaust manifolds. Some very early E55s had 60mm tubing, but everything from late '03's on have 70mm. It's simply a fact.
I'm not disputing whatever performance gains you're claiming; you simply misstated some facts on the stock exhaust.
What's the appearance of the resonator have to do with anything?

What is the point of arguing over millimeters? Sheesh!

That car is perfect! The white with tinted tails! 
Also, I noticed no metallic raspyness with the exhaust setup. It sounds, refined, clean, and deep all at the same time. I hear the loud whine as well but that beast's exhaust note really overpowers all in a very good way. Are you guys taking it to the track to see what she does in the 1/4 mile?

As noted before, 40 RWHP+ and 65 RWTQ+. Some customers have also reported 10-15 more mpg and a more pleasant mood.

If it doesn't put down numbers I like, he will be fired as head driver and we will have someone fill in. Kevin is unaware of this.

I am going to take the car Friday night.......but as I maintained before, this will only be my second time at the track, AND I have bald tires. (These are the excuses I will maintain through my time slip posting on Saturday) 
Guess we will see how it goes. But, I had a modded 996 Porsche Turbo, a Lambo Gallardo, and have driven many other cars, and this car is fast, really fast! The question about the torque, I am not sure where that comes from, being that the dyno sheet was posted. It was right there in black and white, what the numbers were.
Waiting for the mod list for round 2 from Anthony!!!

Will I have any problems if I just do this upgrade?
Anyone know how this will affect my warranty?

Is this for real? How much to ship them? It will either be to Scottsdale, AZ or to Canada...please give me both estimates.
If you click the "more images" button under the pic, it shows them from the sides. I think they look pretty good in the engine bay, too.

Please tell me no one took me seriously with that. But if you did send me a blank check and I'll send you the finest upgrades money can buy. We're talking turbonators, electric superchargers, Ebay power chips, anything by Sun Automotive, and all the "improve your gas mileage" pills for your gas tank that I can fit in the box.
As for the numbers, the graph is posted in the other thread. For some reason I can't reload into this thread and I'm not computer literate enough to figure out a way to do it.

But seriously, as sad as it is I only have about $200 to spend on engine mods (I know that cant get me anything), would I be better off getting the intake tubes or a sprintbooster? No sarcasm please, I dont have time to read between the lines, I'm supposed to be paying attention to Jeff Pinkner who's in our class talking about "Fringe".
