[QUOTE="robb15033, post: 978256, member: 13109"] Quick Update- It's going to be an additional day or so to get my car back from Excessive after exhaust install and the dyno runs. I'm on a budget and they found some other things that need addressed in addition to the exhaust work. They always seem to be put in a position to cut me some slack price-wise or doing something for me for free. They noticed some things here and there that are not "just right". They noticed the caster camber plates are not installed correctly. I didn't get specifics but they have to correct that, adjust bumpsteer kit and then realignment. My MM strut tower brace doesn't fit perfect because of the lower intake manifold spacer and some modifications need done to correct that so it doesn't rub. For what ever reason, they didn't anticipate having to chop up & modify & do a bit of welding to get the cats put in and to get the ProChamber & hangers put in place. It's a V6 so nothing is just bolt-on when it comes to exhaust work underneath it. I have no more cash at the moment for them to install the carpet and Corbeau seat so,... I am going to have to install the seat myself. I refuse to attempt the carpet. I don't have the time or patients to do that job. So, I'll put the seat in myself on Thursday and then have them put the carpet in another day. -Bummer. On a positive note, I will have a beautiful exhaust system & most importantly I will have new SCT tunes to download. Since the last time it was dynoed, I am going to guess that I have increased horsepower with the little things I've manipulated by.....[U][I]10 HP[/I][/U]. That's my guess, we shall see how close my guess is tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
