Just had the Stainless Power headers and ATI Super Damper installed by a local shop. So with the off-road headers the Roush axelback is just really tough to deal with. Once you hit 2500 RPM's it is just obnoxious loud. I ended up putting on some Magnaflow magnapack resonators. I made a video comparing both of them idling so you can see the difference. The sound is definitely not loud but very clean with the resonators. I may change out from Roush to Corsa in the future but for now this will do. I have yet to dyno it to see the increase in horsepower, but I am expecting a pretty good increase.

Made my first passes with the car last night and made a small video of them. First pass of the night straight off the interstate after an hour and 15 minutes of driving was actually the best pass. Ran an 11.03@130 with a 1.70' 60 foot. Track prep was not very good to start and just got worse. Not to mention the staging lanes were full of water. All together I had 7 runs with 5 of them being 11.3 or better. They ended up kicking me off the track for going too fast without a roll cage. Car definitely has more in it, just need to get that 60' down.

Nice job Mike :headbang:

I can't wait to get mine to Eping NH next year.
Thanks bud. With better prep and better weather I know I can hit mid 10's. Also, I think I am going to do -10% for first gear. I will try -5% first and see how it goes. I need to get my 60' down into the 1.6, 1.5 region.

Been a few weeks since I posted in my thread, nothing new to report. Going to get it dynoed to see the power increase next Wednesday and going to hit the track again on the 16th. Until then, just a few new shots.

Just a few more pics with [MENTION=17459]altjx[/MENTION] and that beautiful GT350. Car is hitting the dyno on Wednesday, so we will see what the results are from the headers.

Glad to see you were able to help the drone out a bit. How's she running now that there's a few ponies freed up?

Shes running good man. Strong as usual. Going to the dyno tomorrow to see what the gains are. Hoping to crack that 700 mark.
