Yeah I originally looked into Roush side exhaust but didnt like the sound clips all that much that I found. Im thinking either Spintech or Flowmaster 40's.

Swapping the Spins in for the Roush/Magnaflows was the best exhaust mod I've ever done.

That is a decent deal, too bad I have to be in a selling phase right now.

Yes it is. I seriously thought about it for a second but IF I should go that route, it will be next year and I hate having unfinished projects lying around. Already have enough going currently. lol

meh... what do M112's w/ tb and plenum usually go for? 400+?


I still cant believe I got the deal I did on mine: adapter, M112 w/3.65, TB/plenum, 39's(8), second idler and 90mm LMAF for 1K shipped. Only reason I spent less than 2K on the swap.

Franchi: you probably listened to my vid on youtube.

I did. I recognized the "unique" green of your ride. :-P

Sounded good too. You still running around without a hood or what did you get that clears the Eaton?

car is in the garage on jackstands with half the interior tore out and 3/4 brake lines changed, oil has been draining for about 5 days now... should be pretty dry by the time I get around to working on it again.

Work is retarded lately and I have zero energy from 5 or 6pm till midnight when I go to bed.

It has a tag axle (Cant see the rear because the Passat is in the way) so it makes for a smoother ride and I can tow more, my hitch is rated for 10,000lbs but the rig can tow more with a stronger hitch.

The calipers on the front make my 4pot Alcons look small. The Aluminum Calipers have to have at least another pound on the Alcon's and the rotors are huge too, but not sure how large.

The tow package upgraded the brakes so I guess thats whats on there.
tag axle like it goes up and down with a switch or just a double axle? air brakes? CAMERA? ha, thats what mirrors are for

85 ponies out of a intake exhaust on a gasser is a stretch......
