Minor Update: After meeting with JayVee and listening to his stage 3 exhaust, I ordered the Dynomax the following morning. Thanks to him and The Machine for helping out with part #'s. I ordered through Amazon with free shipping and it arrived in two days.

I got it installed earlier today, but it was raining and I couldn't roll down my windows. From what I can tell inside the car, it compliments the intake resonator delete well.

You'll love the sound when you can hear it with the windows down. But it does sound awesome from inside the car as well with the windows up.
If you decide to make a video and the camera is up front with you, the best way to record sound and reduce the wind noise the camera picks up is to roll the rear windows down and open the sunroof. Leave the front windows up.

From what I can tell, so far so good. I'm going to have a friend drive my car so I can hear it from outside. I just need my lady to approve bc she wasn't happy to see this after dealing with my Cobra.
I'm going to my holiday party for work on Fri night. We need to just plan another Tampa meet.

Predatorbird, have you driven a car with 5% tint before? Just curious because I went from 20% to 15%, and at 15% I can't see s%#t at night if I'm trying to back out of parking spaces, etc, just from 20 to 15 was a big difference. 5% sounds a bit dangerous IMHO, but maybe it's just my crappy night vision.

Thanks guys! I like that it has a smooth, clean sound and isn't real loud to draw unwanted attention. I'm tempted to buy the AEM V2 just for that loud, deep roar when you get on it. 
Getting ready to go to the track with two R32 buddies. I have no idea what I'll run, just going for the pure fun of it.

Best run of the night was my first. Ran a 14.85 @94.xx. After my 4th run my check engine started flashing and stayed on. I didn't run a anymore after that. The car is driving fine, but I'm going to get the code scanned in the AM.

Hey Adam, check this out, since you're pretty handy. Much cheaper than a full on V2 intake and you get the same growl.

Also, keep us posted on the CEL. And if you're going to be tinkering, get yourself one of these and the TORQUE app on your phone. Can check and clear your own codes.

Not shabby...I was expecting low 15s. But it ran in the ball park of what I was thinking these cars will run (base model). I am sure the check engine will be gone in the morning. If not, let us know what was the cause. I believe it will shoot something regarding emissions from running hard back to back to back...Signal meaning WTF! lol!
lol!I was hoping for a high 14, but expecting low 15's. My first run was against a new Camaro. I hung with him pretty well and when I saw him hit a 13 sec time I knew I'd be in the 14's as I crossed the line. My friend with the R32 did a 14.3 his first pass.
They were done by me in Lakewood Ranch. The wall is perfect as a backdrop and it's my go-to spot for rollers.

I was thinking about that OBD2 reader last night. I wouldn't mind a code reader just to save the trouble of getting it scanned at Advance Auto.
