Looks good.

How you liking the Power FC so far? I've eyed this as of late since my setup seems to be slightly lean in the midrange. Hard to choose this route over getting a ROM tune from Enthalpy(Scott Avoy) - both have their advantages, but the PFC route will be a hair over twice as expensive.

Thanks. The power FC is not currently installed and tuned. I had it on for a few days just using the monitoring features. I'm going to order the datalogit, have the car tuned conservatively and hopefully squeeze out anywhere between 250-280 whp. I will be more than satisfied with that power level for a daily driver. I would definitely go with Enthalpy and his ROM tune, especially if you are local to him. I've seen/heard nothing but good things about any of the guys at the former Secret Services. Scott's 539 hp beast speaks for itself. The only reason I'm using the Power FC is because I got a good deal on it on Ebay, and I am local to a very competent tuner who I trust with my engines. He was able to squeeze 306 hp 267 tq. on a stock block/head Integra LS engine, which is what I have in my Honda street/drag car. The engine held up to 50+ passes at the track, got me back and forth to work, and showed no signs of giving up. It would probably still be going strong if I didn't get greedy and decided to turn up the boost. But hey, LS engines are a dime a dozen, and cheap, so I don't mind popping them.

I'm glad you asked. It took a while before I finally settled on an exhaust, and I am extremely pleased. I did not want something loud and droning, (like my thermal 3 inch on my hatch) rather I wanted something quiet that was still 3 inches. If you are looking for an exhaust that is tolerable for long drives and sounds stock at idle, this is the one for you. I got it from Project Nissan. Once I have a video of it on the dyno, I'll post.

AWESOME!! Thats exactly the kind of sound I want from the exhaust. I saw the ad for the PEII and it said that it wasnt loud. Hmm, It's either the cheaper Megan Racing or this PEII.
