Well, I have tons of video in my 1TB external hard drive that fell into the floor after my dogs got tangled in the wire while wrestling. The computer shop can't retrieve the data, so that sucks. Sending it off to Seagate. I'll keep looking for something. Otherwise, my car is en route from Cali back to North Carolina. When it gets here, I'll make some cool vids. But that's with the GMG exhaust, not the Synergy exhaust, which is the one that really makes you smile when you watch on video. It just RIPS. I paid $2700 for it PLUS the install and PLUS the headers. I'll sell it, totally all welded together and ready to bolt on WITH the headers for that same amount. So you're essentially saving, (I dunno, how much are headers? $1200??) around $1200 bucks.

Well, the Fabspeed headers are welded to the Synergy Racing center exit exhaust, never to come off again. I do have the header-back setup though, even all the brackets. PM me if you're still interested.
I'll make it cheap. My wife, son, and I will be moving soon and don't need to haul around all the parts. Heck, you might come up, walk around my garage, and leave with brake calipers and rotors, a bumper or two, a Cargraphic GT2 wing... I've got a ton of stuff, man. All needs a home. My car's not changing anymore. It's finally 'right'. If you have a thicker steering wheel, I'm up for a trade. That's the only mod I have left to do.

Thanks guys.
Since this thread is about my car, I guess I should throw up a dyno graph. I've been reluctant, because the car makes significantly more power than this graph shows. I've seen 420 or 425 at the wheels, which is pretty standard with these kits, I believe. But alas, due to a scuffle between my Boston Terrier and my Cocker Spaniel, my external hard drive has bitten the dust. I don't have those other graphs anymore. Only this one. It was done in a hot and humid area... LA.
Anyway, the numbers don't suck. With a 15% drivetrain loss (I see everyone using this calculation. I don't know if I believe in it, but it's simple), my car made 471HP on this day. With the before-seen 420, that would put my car at 494, which is more like it. 425 is a perfect 500. I like that one.
