They're made in Massachusetts, too!

Anyways, I've decided I will go for the Pypes cat-back for now and hold off on the intake and tune. There's some other suspension/brake stuff I want to get to first (sway bars, stainless steel brake lines). Before I buy the exhaust, I will go to Granite State Dyno next Thursday to have my suspension installed and have some baseline dyno pulls done.

If you are going with Pypes, get the mid-muffler true dual kit (not the regular cat-back). I have it on my 4.0 and it sounds absolutely AMAZING. I love getting in my car everyday and revving it. I never thought a v6 could sound that good haha.

I'm talking about this kit. I posted a video about 2-3 pages back of how it sounds.

Built transmission from the ground up with all new hardened parts and a 2600-2800 stall converter. Turns out I grenaded the input shaft and transmission pump when it let go 3 weeks ago. So hopefully I should be better off when I turn up the power a little more this summer with a FMIC and 4 more psi :-)

Luckily this comes with a 3 year parts and labor warranty, and they know its supercharged and what I wanted to do with it. :-D

Just picked up the car, and boy should I have done that stall converter sooner. Feels like a totally different beast! Also she shifts way better now!

So lately I've been browsing everyone elses rides on here, and honestly I'm starting to get pretty bummed by the look of my ride compared to most others. Just feel like I went the totally wrong direction with it.
