On 01/08/07, I started the new year off right with a custom Stage 1 tune and dynograph courtesy of Jeremy Estes. For those that can't make out the graph below, the baseline numbers were 194AWHP and 201FT/LB of torque.
After tuning for 91 octane, the car made 223AWHP and 240FT/LB of torque. That's an increase of 29hp and 39tq! Those gains are pretty impressive considering the car was stock with the exception of a Megan intake and stock axle-back delete.
On 01/09/07, I enlisted Jr. of "Mr. Muffler" in Vincennes, IN to help get my Invidia Cat-Back into shape and on the car. After a short time in the shop, we had my car back out of the garage and ready to go.
I think it looks pretty decent and the sound isn't too bad either. It's actually a lot quieter than my OEM exhaust minus the OEM muffler. When I get a chance, I'll be back at "Mr. Muffler" with my 4 inch down-pipe installed and ready to delete the rest of the OEM portion of the exhaust.
It'll be replaced with a 3inch, catless exhaust from the turbo-back and at that point be ready for my Stage 2 tune.
