Thanks.......MMR is great vendor....if you go back one page , look at the black coupler on the throttle body of my first post....they sent wrong coupler, so I made fit but it wasn't right..so less than 18 hours they had they right coupler here today, from California, you cannot ask for better service, they footed bill for overnight twice....here is a shot tonight I took after I swapped right coupler....it is a 3 1/2 " that then reduces to 3"'s and the 3" is nice and tight on the TB. oh ...side note..if you get one, get a sharp knife and scrape all the powder coat off the one tube that you hook hose up to, cause it is one thick and wd40 will not allow that latch to llock over top that lip...so take it down close as can to metal. the bbk would probably bee a nice one too>

oh they know///,,,the guy I talked to was the one that buillds, and he was out when overnighted my kit cause they sent the camaro cai first.....so why they overnighted the coupling too, they did good job on support, this CAI with the 2 overnight shippings they did cost them more than the cai on their end, like $50 in shipping,

Alright. Finally got home with my newly installed Borla X-pipe and Cat-back exhaust. Borla is making the video right now using my car to show the difference between their 3 lines of exhausts: touring, S-type, and ATAK. They were also nice enough to give me a Dyno sheet with a baseline and a run with the exhaust installed. They initially gave me my car with the ATAK exhaust on it. It was WAY too loud for me. There was no drone, but the slightest tap on the throttle and it was noticably loud with the windows up. They took it back to the shop and put the touring exhaust on it for me. It's a really good sound and it's not incredible loud. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an exhaust for this car. The dyno sheet shows about a 10 hp increase from baseline. I'll take the best picture I can later with my phone of the sheet and post it here. They weren't sure when the video would be ready, but they said in the next couple of weeks most likely.

WOW! You received a 2011 Touring Cat Back system!! Mine had been paid for and on order for 3 months now and I still have not received it. Let me know if you do in fact have the new drone free system so I can call them back and see where mine is. I have been holding out on installing my Roush CAI and the SCT tune till I get the exhaust.
