Talking First Maddad V2 Downpipe for 08+

Just thought I'd stop by and brag a lil.
I have been talking back and forth with Rich from Daddy's Sport Compact Performance for a little over a month now.
It finally arrived last friday and went on the car the next day.
Fitment was good, look was good and registered plus 20hp on the butt dyno.
Only thing is that it will not mate up to the stock cat-back, so for now I welded a 3" flange on the end of my stock cat-back.
My new muffler should arrive on friday, and I will finish welding that up by saturday.

It's pretty good. Rubbed slightly on my heatshield, but I just bent the shield up a tiny bit and that stopped the rubbing.
Everything else looks pretty good with it.

Funny you mention that, I ordered an AP V2 today. So I will have that tomorrow.
Ima try out stage 1 until I get my cat-back finished, then stage 2, woo.
I'm a little nervous about tuning because I have never done it before, but I'm assuming once I launch with stage 2 the nervousness will go away.
