Default GIAC

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/49309/a66.jpg"></center><p>
This morning I drove to PES in Pa. to change from an APR chip to the Giac x chip and I have to say the power delivery is so much smoother and stronger. Honestly, I am getting better gas mileage.As some of you know, I have been having unresolved problems with my apr tuning.I then came home and did a 4 hour winter clean up of my #1 baby.

Default Your car looks so amazing! Such a great looking ride, truly.

Very classy yet, still aggressive. Excellent combination - and those rims, I have to say it again, I love those BBS LM's on your car. They look fantastic.

Default the x-chip is GIAC's bad boy chip, there are other versions of their software...

but the X-chip will net you your best gains. I guess it depends on what your looking for.

PES is in Philly, head down the NJTpke to Exit 6 for the Penn Tpke - its about 10 minutes from there. I hope that helps you gauge the distance to the place. Its located in one of those warehouse type areas with roads going all over the place. Definately bring their phone number. I had to call up while driving around to find them as they are off in an obscure corner of their industrial area.

Default You did the magnaflows too? I bought em but haven't put em on the car yet.

I'd be really interested in checking out your car and listening to your new exhaust. I'm in NYC too, Bay Ridge, Bklyn.
