If I could just convince this exhaust to stay on the car...

You don't have the magnaflow catback by chance do you? I know I watched scheides' old one just pop right off the hanger before. The rod part of the hanger didn't have the little edge on it to keep it inside the rubber.

That wasn't my magnaflow, that was the ghetto catback that came on the car when I got it, made by a shop in SD. The magnaflow has given me zero issues.

What track were you guys running? Short or long course?

Long in the morning and short in the afternoon.

The magnaflow has given me zero issues.

This is actually the nuts working off the bolts. This is the third bolt/nut that I've lost. I picked up some lock washers for the replacement hardware. We'll see if that does it.

Oh, gotcha. Thought it was a magnaflow ;(

The Magnaflow hangars are very well designed, no way they'll ever pop off. My guess is they actually be harder to get out of the rubber hangars than stock.

Try Vimeo.

That looks like a winner. Not a terribly good video, anyway, but my sister-in-law shot about 20 and it was the best that she managed.

Sweet!

Surge tank working for you? No starving in the carousel or on the long turns?

You should have asked to use our camera between sessions. We only took a few videos but haven't looked at any of them yet.

Fueling seems to be solid. I saw KnockCEL once when I was entering the main straight but I'm not sure what that was about. It was the only time that I saw knock indicated. AFRs were running mid-12's most of the day...at least on my gauge.

The good news is that it looks unlikely that the muffler is going to fall off. The bad news is that the one bolt holding it on is now stripped. hmpf. I guess I'll be swinging by an exhaust place tomorrow.
