hahah. Well today I went to the muffler shop to fix my lousy Invidia. OMG, what a piece of junk. I went there to fix some leaks and turns out the resonator was crap and it was broken at the welds. I was going to have them put a straight pipe on, but combined with the RMW header, might have been a tad too loud for me, so the next best thing was a resonator from a loud exhaust, Magnaflow, lol. OMG, no more leaks, I need to dyno it again, feels like even more power now and that this is LOUD. I did a drive by of the muffler shop and everyone was cheering, lol.

Just to try to stay on topic, I think the JCW wheels helps counter some of the extreme torque steer I have now.
