Awesome Larry.

I think you have the mod disease worse than anyone else I know!

Even beats Gomez!

Larry, there's no stopping you is there?

How long has it been since you bought the car, two weeks?

Good luck with the mods, I will be returning to Miami in two weeks. I can't wait to see the car in the Pavia Garage...

Hopefully I'll see you as well

A race exhaust on a Turbo is very different. Since the turbo's impeller homogenizes the sound wave the noise level is not nearly as loud as on a normally aspirated car .. especially a car which is a DD .

The Turbo engine is the main difference in my selection of a race exhaust on that car. On a normally aspirated car any race exhaust is a completely different animal . FVD does make a "gt" system but even they give the heads up that "That system is not for the faint of heart." (post number 4) https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...st-system.html

Yrralis1,

Not sure if you have the car back yet but I wanted to follow up and make sure that you are happy with the exhaust.

Thanks,
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda - I know the parts are going on as we speak . The interior upgrades are time consuming (seat backs require taking the entire seat out) . Plus they did suspension . The exhaust is going on tomorrow . I may order one more interior piece and then they have to test drive it.

Soon....

.
I can't wait.

Awesome!! Can't wait to see the pic's of the interior also!

I just had 2 dealer's install the same system you have and they were thrilled. One of the customer's called me directly and said that the low end / mid range torque is just what he was looking for and the sound is pure bliss. He is not running a program so I can just imagine that your car will be amazing with the software as well.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts and see the results of the first round of mods!!

Thanks,
Rhonda
