In prep for tomorrows track day - went to an empty area and tried a few launches...
Can't get a hard launch yet, but here's somewhat of a 0 to 60...
Not tearing it up, but not too bad - guessing 0 to 60 at a little less or a bit over 6 seconds... (using laptimer starting @ 1.25 and guessing hitting 60 @ 1.30.5 or so )

Nice work, JBT. I'd say that is a v.decent time. Have fun today.
We get the sound clip of the mangaflows built right in...sounds good. Did you do a stock exhaust recording with the same device?

wrestepo and I went out, but gee-or--geous day today and there was a sea of cars to get in and the staging area was 6 across and 10 to 20 deep so I bailed...
Since I'm so close, will try when they open up regular hours and fewer cars...
anxious to see what wresepto's s4 supercharged does
oh, yeah, never thought about the sound clip - that was with windows closed and all... it is mellowing out as I get more miles on the new muffs... at regular driving it sounds muted, just bellows at full bore!

Cmon JBT,
You got us all on the edge of our seats and then you punked out because of a little line of cars. You wouldn't last on the Long Island Expressway. LOL. In video, tune looks nice and quick and the Q shifts very smoothly, sounds great too.

JBT, is there a drone in the cabin with the new mufflers? I wanted to do a resonator delete but I don't want to lost how you can whisper to someone in the passenger seat at highway speeds. Just need more of a growl when I accelerate.

No drone @ highway speed that we can tell
(I have that on my large suv with a full turbo back)
but note I didn't change anything in front of the rear tires...
swapped out only the two rear most 'mufflers' that look like this:

and added tips:

JohnC, I live 10 minutes away from the strip, I can go back anytime...
(but wrestepo did text me that he got to run within 15 minutes, but I had already started other 'honey-do' projects
)

No, those look like stainless steel (and better for anywhere but the south!) I didn't get stainless and don't recall which I got - here's a hard to get video of that low thing

I brought those clips from JBT & Birdman—and a couple run vids I did over the weekend—into some editing s/w to measure the times. Yes, I was bored yesterday.
JBT/REVO, you are indeed at 6.0
Birdman/GIAC, you pulled a 6.4
Me/Stasis, could not do better than a 6.7-6.8 (consistently over several runs) so I won't even bother posting vid for that crapola.
Sigh.
