Good to see you too! Your car looked great. Love that it's debadged.
I may have been a little cavalier on the throttle so you could hear it!

Re: Exhaust
I know I have asked this before, but what kind of exhaust is that? I think I remember hearing it up at the IRA meet but sounded quite different on the road. It is really the perfect rumble for that car. I am very impressed.

Re: Exhaust
It's been a process to get the exhaust to it's current state, so i'll break it down.
I bought the Milltek resonated cat back system. It was an improvement but still pretty tame. If anything it just made the sound more exotic than subtle and deep like stock.
Wasn't quite enough so I removed the resonators. This helped but it still wasn't what I was looking for when i was playing in the higher revs..
I added A.W.E. downpipes that essentially remove two of the the four catalytic converters. This made an enormous difference in all situations except the idle, which is still surprisingly quiet. Now this car just screams at high revs and billows in mid range, it's a little loud and the drone can become tiresome but it's certainly fun and changes the car completely. Tunnels are my favorite with the windows down.

Sure. Shoot me an email sometime. I'm going to VT this weekend but usually i'm around
It's a fun car, super comfortable but a beast when you ask it to be!
Not to mention it's great looking and been super reliable. (just saw 17,000 miles)
