Every time I drive back and forth to WV, I notice the hills go up AND down. Maybe the route you take are all uphill one way and all downhill the other.


System looks fairly light.

We never weighed it, but moving both the stock and complete systems around, there IS a definite weight reduction


Any adverse handling effects by raising the center of gravity a bit?

I don't think so. It is tucked up higher and out of the undercar windstream, which should keep it hotter. maybe that was also one of the reasons for our heat shields in the first place.; to insulate the front pipes and and keep under car air from cooling them too much

And any road-kill that is under the car is cooked only to medium instead of well-done. Parking on grass without heat shields in place should be better.


When does the polishing start?

I'll get to Reading early on Thursday, jack the car up and put it on 2' jackstands and get under it with my 6 cans of Nevr-Dull and my gas-powered portable buffer. Might be a good time to Dremel my S/S lines as well. I might leave it on jackstands all weekend


Might want to have the front portion ceramic-coated which would increase flow a bit more!

Then the color wouldn't match the rear pipes, so I would have to colormatch them... then that color wouldn't match my wheels, so I would have to redo them.... then the wheels wouldn't match the... you get the idea.

I wonder if the Flowmax® capsules my urologist gave me would work if I dissolved them in some fuel injector cleaner and added it to the gas tank? Sure improved my flow a bit more.
