Finally, I'm whipp'd

So, had 3 days off this weekend, drove a few hours to a buddy's house and got everything done. Whipple kit, CAI intake, 2" stainless works headers and catless back with retro's, Rx catch can, ADM scoop. No real hangups. Had to run to the auto parts store a few times for misc. parts. So glad to have it done. Now just need a good tune, and I will be set for a while. Feels good to be in the club now Attached are a few pics from the install.

I did a lot of research before I ended up going with the whipple. I think it will fit my style of driving the best, and it will give me that room to grow if I ever decide to test the waters further. And I like the fact that it is power on demand at very minimal RPM. There are a lot of great systems out there. There is no clear cut "best", but it is great knowing you can't really go wrong with any of them.

I'm leaning towards whipple for the theoretically (has this been confirmed?) lower engine bay temps and the aesthetics. I understand to see what it is really capable of means big engine modifications ($$$).
