You should hear the Motordyne shockwave dual exhaust. That thing is a monster with an awesome sound. I will have to take vids when I get my car back.

Can you explain the reasoning on why this is the case? In my head, it would seem to be the opposite as the air at higher elevation is less dense, requiring less fuel to achieve the correct a/f mix. im not saying you are wrong, just trying to figure out the flaw in my logic.

does anyone know what the thread size is on the block/transmission bolts? i dont really want to special order them from the dealer since all i really need are 4 of them so i can put the block on my engine stand. if i have to special order them i guess i have to, but i think maybe someone might know of the top of their head. thanks

My car made 286whp SAE with the Borla. It has 2.25 ID piping, so it seems ok for NA power. Mine happens to be for sale, too.

and just in case others are searching for this info, the dimensions for that bolt are 12mm x 1.75. a 70mm length worked well for my engine stand
