That's some present! Glad you like it. I think a good exhaust note is very important for the overall feel of the car, and if done right, contributes to the feedback you need when driving. The extra HP is a bonus, and I know what you mean when you can feel it kicking in. There's one hill on my everyday commute that became less tiresome because the extra little grunt from the Remus helped. Happy motorin'!</p> <p><pre><code> BCNU, Rob in Dago </code></pre></p> Happy B'day, Matt! That's some present! Glad you like it.
