i had a next-to-stock ws.6 [315 hp/tq]...totalled that and now have a ws.6 with full exhaust, tune, and SFC's [340hp/tq]. You will notice a HUGE difference in fuel economy and torque.

It went in for ARH cermaic LTs, 3"TDs, x-pipe, new Fuel pump/ filter, new wiring harness for fuel pump, UMI SFCs, torque arm, torque arm relocation bracket, LCAs, LCA brackets, SLP air lid and a Moser 9" with 3.70 gears and a slight tune.

if you get a chance how about some pics and videos?

**xzaero0** · 03-03-2008, 11:29 PM

Yeah I'm gonna get some video and post them on here and our local car club site. I've got 3 cameras lined up but the weather here is a little on the crappy side right now. I opted not to get the SFCs put on yet. Figured that if I broke the rear end up pretty bad at the track I should have it straightend or make sure the body is straight before having them welded in place. It will prolly be next week by then but I'll get some posted.

**airmaxon1** · 03-06-2008, 07:34 PM

im thinkin about gettin pretty much the same kinda stuff done pretty soon. about how much is the shop chargin for all the install? minus the body shop trip

**bgable** · 03-07-2008, 07:00 PM

i got a pretty good deal it was 900 to install LT's, Install TD's, Welded in subframes, and tuned it for that price it was tuned with a Hp tuners not a dyno and they also put in plugs wires and pulled out all the air and egr crap

**0rion** · 03-08-2008, 11:03 AM

you will notice a huge difference. The first few times you have it out you'll have the "eternal grins".

What mufflers did you go with on the duals and post some sound clips.

**bgable** · 03-09-2008, 08:11 AM

i went with the bullets and if they are to loud ill prolly swap for some LM1 or LM2 resonators
and ill be sure to post sound clips

**noxside** · 03-09-2008, 06:33 PM

Guaranteed you'll fall in love with it again

**xzaero0** · 03-09-2008, 08:26 PM

I went and got mine out of the shop today. Well it was a totally different feel, ride and sound. Going from my old exhaust set up to the new 3" duals with x sounds so much cleaner, less backfire and alot less sound inside the car. With the rear end and gears and suspension it looks like I gained about 250-300 rpm @ 65 mph tho but the overall acceleration and grip of the car on the road more than makes up for it. When I finally got on it, I was like HOLY ----! Way more power and feels so much more stable than it was. The only thing that is bad about it is there is just a small amount of gear whine that you can hear at deceleration but its just barely noticeable. I was going to get some video but my batteries went dead, so I'll get some this weekend.
