dyno link
Lucky that you have such a nice husband to do such a nice thing for you
And nice work too...I like that you kept the cats.
Has a nice sound on my crap computer speakers but maybe a little loud for my old ears. But you obviously like it and that is what counts.
Need a few details about the car...other mods, etc.
And what was the final on the dyno? The numbers didn't show too well.

No other mods at the moment. Gonna be ordering the alta intake and 17% pulley soon and possibly a short shifter.
The dyno made 167whp with 156wtq.

Very nice!! The quality of the pipe work and welds are second to none...Some of the nicest I've seen my 20 or so years in the industry. I only wish I could TIG that well. If he doesn't do this professionally, he should certainly think about it.
Sounds great also, overall a very well engineered and executed system. Congrats...( on getting a great exhaust and having such a craftsman "on staff")

Hey MCS 5, you have a 06 S right? Facelift? Just curious, because I'd be willing to just do the exact same as you and the original poster, if they are all the same exact cars (models). Then we'd have all the dimensions figured out all together. And maybe he'd give us a deal buying the same exact thing.
And the tig's are PERFECT!!!!

As do I. I already emailed him to see what he has to say. Just thinking that if he were to do 2 side by side, wouldn't have to figure out any dimensions again and again. I'll let you know for sure MCS 5!!!!! What I hear!!
