The long tubes actually made my car quieter as well. Nice numbers!

So funny story, I turned my idle down to 750 from 950(wtf brenspeed) and I shook loose a motor mount bolt. Guess I didnt tighten that one down all the way.

850 seems to be the sweet spot. What are your at?

I am at 775, I wanted to retain the stock Idle speed, which I believe is 750. I might raise it this weekend and see how I like it

If you have problem with braking get the tuner to raise the idle back up to 950 rpm rolling then drop it to 750 rpm when it stops to bring out the lope,

This vid is after I installed the flowmasters which are way more quiet than the spintechs I had on there.............should be called drone techs IMO! LOL You can hear some trumpeting/crackling when I give it some gas.
