Booyeah... After only one week of working out I'm back lifting the same reps/weight I was a month ago. Still need to get some of the weight back I lost but I'm happy with my results so far.

For a second I thought that was an MV Augusta in the back! Nice toys tho!

Scored some good seats again for another Twins game.









And even though they didn't win we did have great weather and good food. It's also a special game any time you catch a foul ball.

Well said. So many opportunities out there to find better deals and toys.

It's not what you know, it's not who you know, it's who you blow.

That's the most important lesson I can give you. That will be $200 for consultation fees.

I'm having a he// of a time trying to decide between Fast Intentions Resonated HFCs (had in my G37), or Resonated TPs.
I still have the RTPs and am planning on getting the Berks. Just haven't had a chance to buy them yet since school started for the boys and my bill money has gone to food, clothing, and sports for the kids.

It usually takes a nice resting period to come back and get even stronger.

Damn I wish I had more of a warning on when this was coming up so I could plan for it. Is this just a one time deal or do they plan on doing this next year as well???

Theyve been kicking this around nasa for a few years, it will be a new class through scca or nasa, in conjunction.....so for the forseeable future its a new class in and of itself. I looked into it, I am just curious on cage requirements bc that was a potential sticking point in the past.

So besides other things I've ordered I'm looking into HFC or Tests; anyone have ART Motordyne Test Pipes, Megan TP's, Stillen HFC, Random Tech HFC, Mine's, Berk....or any that are good performance and vocally. Mine cracked a little when I had the replica HKS on before.

Hmm idk not really my style plus I'm on a true dual exhaust set up so the Y-pipes don't work for me anymore .

Did you hear that Vestito Z yesterday in Woodbury he was letting loose all over the place with his new TP or HFC he got. Saw him by hudson road, then heard him when I was on Lake and 494. His Z sounds amazing now, besides being automatic.

K, then just longtubes. It sounds great and eliminates any cracking issues that most test pipes and HFC have.

I've heard pretty much all of them....MD ART pipes, Berk/Stillen/FastIntentions/Kinetix HFCs & TPs.

IMHO, a test pipe....is a test pipe. There's not a whole lot you can change with just a pipe besides the material used. When you start getting into Resonators, and then even more so cats, is where you truly need to do your research of the quality, sound, flow, cell count, etc. Then after that, they also 100% depend on the catback you pair them with.

A perfect example...Mike (G35 coupe, G37 sedan owner) ran Berks HFCs on his Coupe....HATED THEM, but was the combo he paired them with, a knock off catback, so he swapped them out immediately back to OEM cats and refused to upgrade the cats. Now 3 years later, he has a G37 Sedan, which he started with MD Art pipes paired with the Invidia catback. HATED the ARt pipes because of the smell and hiss they make, so he swapped to Berk HFCs and ended up LOVING the sound of the Invidia catback, woke it up. Now, he swapped his Invidia out for the ARK catback and loves the sound even more.

Its a perfect example of, you might hate a certain HFC with one catback, but then love them with another. Its all about how they compliment one another.

For quality & craftsmanship, i would have to say it'd go in this order:

Fast Intentions>Berk>Stillen>MD>invidia>Megan>Kinetix
