so wouldnt the strut bar rust since its metal? or you clear coated it

I was planning on getting it powdercoated down the line and I did the hand polishing just before a meet.
I'll probably throw some clear on it since the local place doesn't offer the color powder I want. I just don't want it to dull or yellow the finish with the engine heat.

[QUOTE=Boost_lee;1622682]Dyno video

I lost a few HP after changing the exhaust, but I don't know how much is contributed by the changes in weather.

E370 (blue pull) others were after a reflash

This dyno sheet does not have the temp readings, but when searching for weather conditions in that area on 3/25/12 it was about 72 degrees, 30.07in-Hg, and 76% humidity.

I only got in 1 pull with the Motordyne exhaust and no other changes; I was in a rush for time. The temperatures were a bit hotter on the E370 pull, but I provided Tony with the dyno files so he can compare them or do delta changes. After the pull I put another map on the car with the accessport and picked up a little bit of power. I still love the sound of this thing.

Here's a driving video of the Motordyne exhaust. Consists of a flyby followed by a spirited drive-by.
Ends with a few revs. (2K, 3K, 4K, 5.5K, redline)
Enjoy

One other update; picked up some used 285's for the rear. Hankook V12's will be replacing the stock rear RE05A's with 23000 miles.
Once these and the fronts wear out together I'll probably look towards the RE11

how the hell do you guys go so far on the stock rears? I got 11k miles and mine were DONE. no burnouts, no launches, just hard cornering I guess
