I stretched her legs on the way home from Houston yesterday. 140mph with plenty of room to go. Ive driven an 08 and the 11 seems more refined and responsive. the 08 was nice, but it was kind of "raw" compared to the 11. I haven't slept much these past couple of days. LOL!!

so i think its time for a JoeZ intake and JoeZ exhaust. Looks like a cat and your dog are checking out the new housemate.

That stupid cat in the first pic likes to sleep on the hood. paw prints everywhere. I was leaving earlier and the cat was on the hood. I figured he would jump off. NOPE! he stayed there till I backed out into the street!

I think so! does the engine have to be removed to install headers?

no but the header install is quite involved removing the front subframe and lower control arms, makeing sure you run the O2 simulator wiring so it doesnt get melted. 7-8 hours I've heard. Huge gains though but youll be running catless unless you weld new ones on.
