How the fuck am I going to sleep?!?! I need to wake up in 2.5 hours, fly to Portland, leave hopefully around 1pm, drive 12 hours home, sleep, then SCRAMBLE to get ready for Mfest.

I haven't even had a chance to fully enjoy because the shop in Indy did a pretty bad job on some of the work. Supersprint stepped headers weren't installed properly and had a manifold leak. Couldn't figure out how to get the Supersprint Section 1 straight pipes to connect to my Borla mids, so they just didn't install the Supersprint straight pipes and didn't tell me until after the fact. The stepped headers must use the SS section 1 pipes and that's the likely cause of the exhaust leak. Some other shoddy work and my car wasn't running right last time I was home on vacation. I was pretty shitty. I wanted the HPF to begin with, but was impatient and went the VF route because I thought I could get it installed quickly in time for my vacation last year. Didn't happen. Instead of paying another shop to verify the S/C install and fix the other things, I'm just gonna send the car to HPF and have the peace of mind. Definitely lost some money on the VF kit, but it's no biggie.
congrats on the decision, you wont regret it, I dont know of one single person that has made the switch and regretted it. two of the cars at Mfest were former VF customers and neither had anything but good things to say about the switch and the night and day difference in power. well actually that i think of it.....it was 3 including Mspired.
Mike,
How does the Supersprint exhaust sound? Which section 2 do you have, with or without resonators? Thanks.
It is much quieter than I anticipated. I had the SS sec 2, but HPF put the stock sec 2 back on cause it makes more power. It's hard to tell the sound of the exhaust note from inside the car because the sound of the turbo spooling kinda overrides it. I will make some vids from inside and outside the car soon.Quote:
