Wink Rv6 products

Installed precats jpipe & test pipe last night , took me 3hrs but car was real hot so figure less time if it cold. Reset my computer went even a step foward by taking out backup fuse and computer fuse probably not necessary just a piece of mind......my dad took it for the first test with traction on it's useless I have a04 6spd all I have to say is HURRY UP AND GET YOURS.....the Tl just got what it's been missing....Will try to get video clip today ..wish I knew someone close by with a 6spd to compare ....

Make sure all the bolts are tight. I can't imagine where it's coming from either? My Jpipe never hissed it's been on for 4-5 months.
