im running just the down pipe that came with the kit no mid pipes and false mufflers out back just for looks.

Been this way since i installed the kit, never gave me any issues.

I saw the air bag video too... his car is a little more hardcore. Gutted with a cage and solid mounts that is going to massively translate reverberations back into the body. Im not really sure what to think of the situation really. Im just glad i have a momo race steering wheel, no airbag socking me in the face during a punch

Lol... I knew I was missing something! I should have gone with the 2.5" CO's as it gives more ground clearance.

Some updates. I replaced four cracked plug wires and the BR7EF's @ .028" with new wires and Iridium NGK #8's @ .025.

A few things I noticed:

1) Speed vs time is now ulta smooth (at 10psi anyway)
2) MAF readings are now smooth (vs choppy before)
3) I am about 1.5 AFR leaner now han when on the dyno

Pic 1 is speed vs time from the 817rwhp dyno pull (16psi)
Pic 2 is speed vs time 10# street pull after plugs wires
Pic 3 is MAF vs time from the 817rwhp dyno pull (16psi)
Pic 4 is MAF vs time 10# street pull after plug and wires

How did your clutch end up doing? Was heat cycling the answer?

I haven't had an opportunity to make any hits in 3rd or 4th since. The plan is to hit the dyno again this fall, so time will tell.

500 miles or so on the clutch... I suspect the car is really 850-900rwhp as it sits.

Driveshaft didn't fit right out of the box... Too long. I had to send it back and wait two months for them to modify it. Once I got it back it fit fine. Drives fine.

Not unless I get access to a trailer. Closest track is 2hrs from me.
