i think we need to get a suby specialists out on wednsday, heh. i have some things i need to figure out also. after putting on my downpipe its been sounding like i have a Diesel turbo (the sound of it spooling). i dont think it is an exhaust leak though. i think i need someone to go on a ridealong, im just not sure.

what time and where do you guys meet? I am getting off work at 8pm this wednesday and wouldnt mind driving to SC. Or, if you are down to come to this side of the hill for BDG on Thursday I can take a listen/smell at your cars.

What downpipe did you get? Does it have a divorced wasted gate, or a bel mouth design?


Tom - what does it smell like? Plastic? Fuel? Is your air vent set to recycle or pull outside air in?
