Haha not like you need it anymore but I'll get one up! I left my gf drive my car a bit in a parking lot and got to see what it sounded like. :ohno: It sounds great! I guess the headers + lack of resonators made yours a bit raspier. Mine sounds nice and deep.
Lucky, they liked you so they gave you a free resonator!Awesome.Mine sounded great as well,after i paid $70 more bucks to have a resonator added, :slap: . Def must be the headers that was giving me the horrid tone. I'll post up a video hopefully on Tuesday since schools out got some free time.

And yeah, yeah SanoSuKe i'll post up a video by maybe tomorrow! or Tuesday :yesnod since you're optimistic lol

That'd be great! But to be honest, I'm dead broke right now. All mods on hold until Summer maybe. Don't wanna lead you on or anything. But a test drive would be cool. But I have a 2.5 so wouldnt it have to be reconfigured or whatever?
I'm in no hurry to sell it. I just figured I'd let you see how it feels and I believe it would work on yours but not 100% sure.

AWESOME!! Im happy your at least using the right vinyl. Im hoping your using the 1080 series though and not the Di-Noc. Either way if you ever need help with any vinyl weather it be questions or vinyl itself let me know. [email protected] I can beat anyone's prices just need to ask :) :mike

K heard it, sounds great =) Looks like it pulls fine. The only thing that sucks about the a/c is that its not as torque from a stop like my 04 altima was. I just got back driving from San Francisco. My first long distant trip with the car. Fun driving, incredible gas mileage (400+ miles to the tank), everything was great all except I only topped off at 110 mph. It wouldn't go any faster, which leads me to believe we have a governor don't we?

Ok, more noob questions!

I googled the BD tuner and still don't understand how it affects HP, mind explaining?

Is that a radar you have on your w/s cuz it doesn't look like a gps :p if yea, does it actually work?

Thanks

Heres what bully dog claims. ""
Q: How does the Power Pup work?
A: The Power Pup reprograms the engine computer (ECM) with engine tuning modifications. Bully Dog's engine tunes are designed to improve the engine's efficiency; the result is improved fuel economy and increased horsepower and torque.

Yeah its a radar its an Escort Solo s2. And as far as i know yes it does work, Its saved my a** on a daily basis. :naughty:

Well I drove from LA to SF on a full tank and when I got up there I was down on a quarter tank. But what do you expect on a 20 gallon gas tank.

PHHENOM, why don't you like the Di-Noc, what makes the 1080 series better from your perspective?
