Thanks for the advice! I called Akuma Motorsports and they said they could make me an E-Tune that would free up a lot of my lost low end torque. They sounded pretty confident about it. I would take it to a shop but Charleston isn't exactly import heaven. All's we have around here are trucks and v6 mustangs with GT badges. The closest shop i would trust is about 6 hours away (Z1 Motorsports), so I'm going to use this E-Tune to hold me over until then. If this does'nt help even things out i may trade the test pipes for high-flow cats.
