i love it so far, i love the sound of it, much nicer than dead silence :P no check engine lights or high temperatures to report, no real issues at all really, the first startup with it on just needed a few revs on the gas to get it going so the ECU could adjust, but since then it's been perfect, i can't say i've noticed any power gains, it doesn't feel more powerful, at least not much more power as i think i hoped for, but it does feel like there's a fair bit more torque, which is definitely noticeable when changing gears at high revs, i think i just need to get it tuned to get the full potential out of it, so once that's done, it should be much better, next thing on the list aside from tinted windows (getting ready for summer, lol) is a turbo back exhaust, there's a few places down here in southern Adelaide who should be able to help me out with all that, i'll kill two birds with one stone, i have time off work for the entire month of October and a few days before and after, so should be plenty of time to get it done as long a i have the money
then i guess there'll be things like engine and diff mounts and fuel pumps that need upgrading that i'll try and get around to as well...
i want the exhaust first cause my neighbour's an asshole who hates noise and will do whatever he can to make anyone shut up, yet makes so much of it himself and won't let anyone tell him no... he's gotten the local council involved because my 16 year old dog barks a few times an hour because noone's home so she can't be inside or she'll pee everywhere, it's only one day of the week too and it's a problem he's created because he always chucked rocks at the fence to shut the dogs up when they barked years ago... anyways, because he's an asshole, i want the exhaust, not just for the power gains, but to annoy the absolute f**k out of him, i'll make sure everything's legal down to the noise level in dB so he can't touch me and cause my roster at work is changing to start work at 7 am on weekdays and 5 am on saturday's, he'll be waking up to a lovely window shaking exhaust every morning, 5 days a week... i'm sure he'll be looking forward to sleep ins on saturday when i leave for work at 4 am
might even reverse the car in the driveway to point the exhaust at his house on friday nights :P he can't touch my car or damage it in any way without me finding out about it, i have CCTV cameras overlooking my front yard that i put there specifically to make sure noone touches my car without me knowing who did it, so if he touches it, i'll know about it :P if i'm gonna be an asshole to an asshole, i'm gonna do it legally, haha :P
