Yes it seems that what you are looking at and Royal Purple Sycromax and Amsoil are the top 3. I saw on another forum that for some reason Amsoil seems to not work well with the MT82. I also have enjoyed your ghost cam tune videos. That is an absolute awsome sound. Still on the fence about that though as far as me wanting it. Don't know that I would be able to hear the lope so pronounced with the Borla's that I have. It is my only exhaust mod. Plus I am running Steeda tunes. Reguardless of whose tunes we are running I think your's sound awesome.

Thanks man! Yea I was terrified when I deleted the cats because the exhaust is pretty much straight piped with straight through mufflers. I was scared to get on it and now I am tone deaf and love it lol. I stink it would sound sick with Borla for real. Just I would delete your resanators as they get as smal as 2.25 inch pipe size.

Thanks for the input on the fluid I am going to order some after I research the royal purple. How long does tranny fluid last? 60k?

60K sounds about right. Premium full synthetics last a long time. I have a MGW shifter on order and will be changing over to RP while I am under there. I live in north Alabama. It does get cold here. In the mornings the factory transmission fluid leaves a lot to be desired from IMHO. Very stiff, clunky shifts until the transmission gets a little warm. RP is supoosed to take carre of part of that problem. I can only imagine what it is like up north with the factory crap. Must be like changing gears in a tractor.

When you get it installed, let me know the feedback. I would love all the details as I will be purchasing one as well.

My MGW arrived today. I was hoping to put it in this weekend, but, it is looking more and more like OT for me.
