I am considering the MRT V2 also, I really want to be heard at idle. Do any of you all have a resonator delete on your MRT V2 ?

Hi Eric... I'd suggest the manual, but some spirited (no redline) driving is just fine. You'll find these engines don't really start to break in until they hit 4k or so and at 10k they really gain traction. Gas mileage will increase at that point also.

Drive it like you stole it, well most cars I know that are considered factory freaks, were drove that way to begin with. Dont know why, but how it worked out...

We are tuning the vehicles fresh from the factory and seeing the gains we expect while still providing a warranty with the upgrades straight out the box. You will see that the vehicle will open up just like mlee said at 4,000 miles. This is where the vehicle starts to loosen up!

Houston folks! Anyone interested in doing a group buy on a clearbra installation at Xpert Tint? Im wanting to have this done to my Camaro in the next month and we can get around $100 off if we get multiple people to sign up. I have done extensive research on Houston area clearbra installers, this is one of the bests around. PM me if you have questions.

While I'm here..

Does anyone know of a GOOD pdr guy down in Houston? Someone opened my door recently real fast and hard and left two dents on my passenger door. No paint is missing from the door dent but slightly on the door edge.

The pdr guy in college station said he couldn't fix either of them but could try to make them less noticeable. I really didn't think they were that bad so I had wanted to try one in Houston. I don't go down in Houston much but am willing to drive down if someone knows of a good one who can make it back to normal.

Any tips on guys?

How close is it to the seam of the Door? Got pics?

If it is real close, it's a body shop job.
