Awesome! Wish I could see if their would be any difference from 2.5 vs 3 inch exhaust. I also wonder how much higher your dyno would read with some headers.

I'm curious myself what a differently designed 2.5" exhaust would do. I imagine there's another 15-25 whp available if I got some EL headers. Will just have to find out next year when I do them.

What makes you want to go with EL vs UEL? You plan on doing motor mounts as well?

Definitely will do the FIGS motor mounts when the time comes from headers since it's the perfect time to do it. I would do EL for the sound really. UEL and EL should produce the same power despite better flow characteristics of the EL (my guess, not an expert).

figs motor mounts are garbage I had them and they started to sag. Check this link out
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.g8b...html%3Famp%3D1
they are Pontiac G8 mounts all figs does is put a spacer at the bottom. To top it off I only had the mounts for a year and one side was starting to show small cracks in the rubber.

Your link is for a sale, not for anything that looks like an identified issue with the mounts. Do you have something like pictures of the failure, or something showing a problem? It's not very fair to post something as negative as this without some kind of measurable evidence there is a problem.

I never stated the link was of my issue it was so show the mounts are for a Pontiac G8 and all figs did was put a washer at the bottom. Do you have pictures of every issue you’ve had with cars? I didnt take videos or pictures of the issue I had with my battery so does that mean it wasn’t true? Google super pro Pontiac G8 mounts and go on Figs website and compare the two they are IDENTICAL only difference is figs presses on a washer on the bottom to give us the right height for out engine. My mounts G8 (AKA figs) sagged to where my dipstick started hitting my Cusco bar every time I pulled it out. The cracks were small I’d say less then a quarter of an inch. I immediately tossed them in the trash and had some custom mounts made for my car.

I didn't say it isn't true. I said it's unfair to post something like this without evidence, and the for sale link isn't evidence of failure only of a sale. It's not incumbent upon me to Google anything, I made no accusations. YOU accused Figs of supplying a faulty product. It is INCUMBENT upon you to prove your case. Saying something happened isn't evidence in the Internet age. The Internet and indeed even these forums are rife with bad information from people making bad assumptions and espousing it as truth. Let's avoid this at least in this forum.

Found the pictures I thought I deleted them but for some reason I can’t post them. How can I fix that?

You can insert pictures from your albums (?) in this way too.

Your very welcome I honestly thought I deleted them since this was a few months ago. I literally only had them for a year and drove 5k miles at best on them.
