I was surprised how much louder the car was after I tuned it the first time. Even with the stock DP it was loud, with 3" DP it really growls under throttle. I bet you smiled when you felt the power didn't you? Very cool mod indeed.
without a question I did lol...yea it is louder, and even though Im not a person who needs a loud car, it sounds really good, sounds like there is real power behind it (as opposed to people who through big mufflers on their hondas)
 
Con,

Glad you finally got her tuned. I'm glad to know ya'lls are louder. I wondered if it was my imagination. I have the OBX DP with the EST catback. It had a nice tone before, but now it sounds really stout. Even at part throttle. I guess its moving more air. Lots of grins.

thanks..yea it was the first thing I noticed as soon as I turned on the ignition (loudness)...the long wait from last year till now for it was completely worth it. I didn't know what to completely expect, as maybe more power towards higher rpms, which there is, but I like that there's a huge boost in power across all rpms. even at cruising speeds around the city the car feels fun and agile now :cool: RICA did well for Volvo lol....now I wonder how my car holds up against my girls stock 2010 infiniti G35x.
 
I'm gonna get a ticket. I'm haulin butt everywhere I go. It's addictive.
lol it really is...im waiting to do up to 90 against my girls car
 
You guys have boost gauges? what your max boost, not spiking but solid max boost?
yea I have a boost gauge ..only have checked peak once but it was at 15psi and I have a stage II tune (have a 05 2.5T)
 
Ok, I'm looking at max boost of 16psi and spiking to 18-19psi.

2002 2.4T w/ Stage II.
ok this was my second run up usual route to nyack about 25miles. max boost 16psi no spiking. also even better mpg then previous going average 64mph got 32mpg.
