Default Holly Crap!!!

I got my car back....oh my god, I love it, I love it, I love it!!!

Brainstorm did an awesome job!

On my way home there was hella traffic so I couldn't do much but I got a few pushes in

The car idles perfectly, it's just a bit louder than the stock exhaust but hardly noticable and once boost kicks in it's really quite. Just normal driving you feel the additional power from the exhaust, cats and plenum and it feels absolutely great. When hitting the throttle and boost kicks in it's very smooth, no jerky feeling and then...well, you just take off!

The BOV is nice and not as annoyingly loud as some. Overall it feels like this came like it from the factory, very elegant, smooth with hella bite.
I can 't wait to take it to the track.

Oh yeah, here's the dyno output. Brainstorm said this is the most they got out on a stock engine and they think it's because it's the first car that had an aftermarket plenum. Anyways here it comes:

It took them a bit over a week, I got a bit of a break on the install you need to check with them on that. Also check on their "group buy install" special for more info

thanks,
yeah, I'm not the street racer kinda guy, I go at least once a week to the track to get it out my system. That's one of the things that I love about this kit, you can just normally drive it's completely throttle controlled
