The original $2500 was pretty easy. I took her for a ride and showed here how unstable the stock suspension was. What helped on the SC was doing the install myself and saving on labor. Also, I had to make up some of the money by selling my unused/wrecked race bike. In turn I talked her into another $2500. Total was $5000 as the bike paid for the other $5000. I still consider it a success. She also enjoys going to Mustang GTG's with me and she understands that I need to have projects. Which also led to getting her a 2006 Roush so now everyone can go to the GTG's. Downfall to that is now I have to split my Mod money.....if that's a downfall.

Yeah. Damn that filter is huge! John, are you going to order a second one to swap out when cleaning? That's what I usually do.
