What, you thought I was just going to leave her stock? Not a chance.
With my additional pay and no bar tabs to spend it on, I figured now would be the perfect time to make some improvements. They are as follows:
The centerpiece is a pair of Borla long-tube headers, flowing into a matching catless X-pipe. I'm having the headers ceramic coated by an acclaimed shop local to my mother's house. For the uninformed, ceramic coating greatly improves performance by reducing heat soak, thereby increasing scavenging and flow. It also keeps the surrounding parts cooler.
Those will mate up to a Borla ATAK rear section for maximum flow and the optimal noise level (holyfuck) and improved acoustics. Suck it, neighbors!
This will all be managed by a custom dyno tune, again done by a well-known local shop. I'm expecting 500-ish HP at the crank, or around 440 at the rear wheels. Torque gains will be substantial as well.
Additional mods include an MGW short-throw shifter, a fresh set of tires and some cosmetic stuff that will remain undisclosed until I can provide photos.
To say that I'm excited would be analogous to calling the ocean wet. It's going to be glorious.
