Exhaust (just the downpipe, that is!) should be here this week, but today it's official: Anna got her fast!

Thanks Kracka for helping me slap this on today! Fitment was pretty good except for the stupid vband clamp/flange. Dunno why but it jsut didn't want to seal 100% w/o quite a bit of finagling. Pipe also could have been about 1" longer, but the factory slip/butt fit clamp took care of that. For $187 shipped it was worth every penny!

We buttoned it up just as anna was gonna bring her sister home, and I asked her to see how she liked it. She got back and said she couldn't really tell the if it felt faster because the traction control light was blinking nonstop whenever she would step on the gas! LOL! It's raining out today and traction has been an issue in 2nd and sometimes 3rd depending on the surface. Now wheelspin in 3rd gear is nonstop! I'll comment more on this when it dries up. Now onto the pics:

V-bands are retarded, but other than that things went together pretty smoothly! Like all eBay exhausts the quality and welds were top-notch. The car isn't any louder, but it definitely has more torque and higher peak-boost!

Special thanks to Jordan (owner of mnaudi.com)! We went out logging the car today and the exhaust proved to be VERY beneficial. Boost is up and consistantly higher, N75(boost control) duty cycle is DOWN meaning turbo (and N75) is not working as hard to make boost!
