Right on, thanks.

I'm a bit concerned about this as well, but other posts seem to suggest that it depends on the car, some do get back into the recommended range, although at the upper limit.

biggame, love the ride. How's the tire wear coming along?

biggame-
That Cat Back Exhaust sounds almost musical in a way and definitely the best of the three examples, IMO. Very nice, and great job on the car as a whole.
How about interior volume (exhaust).... any cabin drone?

Great job!!

Thanks for the comments..
As for the exhaust there is some cabin drone, but when driving normal it's pretty faint. When you want to open it up, "can't beat that growl"..It's all a matter of opinion though

'Pretty faint' while driving normally is very acceptable in my view!

Thank you. Yes, the paint work came out awesome could not be happier. I just had them anodize all the chrome and I have to say it set the car off with the silver..
