got my chip, need salsa... (m)
oh, wait, wrong forum.
actually, after a nice weekend of try before you buy at dynospot. i decided i didnt want to go back to stock ecu, so i went ahead and bought my own chip. by the by, its a GIAC. i am pretty happy with it, smooth through all the gears. have lots of power on 1-2-3-4, 5 and 6 have a bit more pep, but not as great as the 1-4. 1st is gone almost as my foot hits the floor and i dump the clutch...
i do however, notice the turbo lag a bit more now that the power is there. so, lucky me i have to get an exhaust. i still havent decided on which one. i am ruling out the vm2 because of the sound (too loud), mtm (because of cost, not worth $1700+install). i am thinking of going either scorpion or nuespeed, but i have to wait until they put their exhaust out.. soon hopefully.
well, if anyone is going to the lunch today, hopefully some of your have some aftermarket exhausts that i can sample.. like apr, borla, or some others... if any.
well, see you folks at lunch.<p>AlexM

*IMHO* Too loud. Got a chance to listen to one. But, good performance.
