pulled the trigger today. 715 installed at ark here in chino. Besides their dog cookie watching us like a armed security dog, the experience went quite well. The thing that i am disappointed with is the whistleing sound, does this ever go away or atleast disapate? I got a little bit of burnt metal smell but thats about it. The car does have a noticeable increase in LOW END TQ.

You mean the hissing on the off-throttle? Nah that's here to stay. It's a property of our VQ's that gets a lot more pronounced with test pipes.

The noise is very minimal and the smell will go away. Glad you like them

now hit the road and enjoy

That's the smell of fear leaving the engine! That's what real cars smell like when you push the pedal down... ;-)
