On the fence about headers/tune
The week came where it was finally time for me to get my mods and tune done.
I was on the fence to do this because of warranty worries for months and months. Finally took the leap, and if ANY of you guys are like I was and unsure about the purchase, don't be. If you can comfortably afford the purchase, DO IT!!! and DO IT NOW!! I swear it feels like I got a brand new car all over again. I had a 30 minute ride from the shop back to my destination and I swear I was actually laughing out loud it was so bad ass. Performance aside, the sound alone will make you feel like a kid all over again. We all get the stares from time to time, but these were different... these were people scared to know what the hell was under the hood lol! I cannot imagine the looks you cammed guys get... I had mustangs and 350s which would normal give me the hate stare or run off past me, but it seemed they were to concerned with what I actually had to test it. Again, it feels like a brand new car all over again.. I went Kooks LTs with cats, Borla S type Catback, CAI inc, and Rx Catch can (can from jannetty / bolt ons from Marylandspeed) Install was done by Xplosive performance in Longwood which had great customer service and Tampa Tuning is tuning this today.. I imagine I will get the grins all over again afterwards. Put quite a few miles on it yesterday and today and surprisingly no codes thrown just yet... I am trying to set up camera to take a video of the sound for you guys today... I don't get where the issues of drone exist. Unless you drive a honda accord as your DD, drone hasn't bothered me at all. Yes, AFM sounds like an apache landing on my roof, but that will be gone before dinner tonight. Pics/vids tonight!

My ARH headers w/cats and tune were done on tuesday and I wish I wouldve done it the day after I bought my car. My car sounds better than my dads 68.

Man I can not wait now, I was exactly in the same shoes... other members gave me good advise and now my car is also at the performace shop getting the Kooks step signature series headers, lowering springs and a tune...
 also got the headers at Maryland speed... now can not wait to pick it up this afternoon...  forgot to let you know I already have a roto fab setup as well as corsa exhust... also bought an elite performace catch can, decided since everyone says good things about them...
