Did you use the 3s AC compressor and plug in the AC amplifier under the dash ?
Does the light come on or blink ?

Yes, it is the 3s compressor, if the AC amplifier was connected to the engine harness, then yes, I plugged it in. The light doesn't blink, but comes on when i push it.
Guys odd symptom. I completed my 1000 mile break in oil change. I went from 5w30 to 10w30 and my low idle issue has been solved. Insight?
is exactly what you are thinking. 5W-30 oil was the cause, you were nto suppose to use that oil, is too thin for our application.

Everything appears to be fine despite that. I was just going based off of the FSM which said either one was OK, but I will use 10w30 going forward.
Finally finished my exhaust,and I must say it is nice to be able to hear myself think while i'm driving. I'm sure my neighbors appreciate it too! Next time I dust the GoPro off I'll be sure to get some exhaust clips, and maybe a driving video. Here's some of the pics.

The full "C" pipe.

Working on the "D" pipe.

"D" pipe final.

Here you can see a picture of the "cradle" system we made for the muffler.

Final shots:





Here are a few pics of "over the axle."

Found these pictures from the day I finished my exhaust. Thought they were kind of cool. We had the rear end of the car up on ramps so it makes it look like the front is EXTREMELY low!


You can also see in the picture above where I relocated my cruise control, and fan control relay. We had to make a custom mount for the cruise control, but the fan relay box moved nicely to existing holes.
looks very nice and clean man!

are you using the stock BOV? how does the stock BOV sound if its vented to atmosphere ?

Yes, I'm using the stock bov. Check out the video. I think it's a page or so back. It sounds like a video game missile launch! It's hilarious!

Not a bracket per se, more of a "stay." Just keeps the two pipes from rubbing one another. I'm going to buy some more heat tape as well for the cold pipe. I want to squeeze as much horsepower out of it as I can.

I also tightened up my turbo manifold bolts and gained an additional psi...so now i'm running 16psi, and my gears are becoming more and more useless!
sticky tires, 3-point strut bar, poly sway bar bushings and that should help make a difference. i felt my torque steer go down and (although still spinning) but not as much with the poly sway bar bushings.

I just received the kirkosaurus mounts. I need to put those in to see if maybe that helps a little too. I'm planning on running ST sway bars, and the 185 links.
Awesome car!!! thumbsup.gif One of these days I'd like to do the same. People like you, making me want things. For shame. laugh.gif

Thanks man! I hope you decide to take the plunge. It's been a blast!

And for all you folks waiting on my exhaust clip: My friend and I took a video, but he included my license plate in the clip, so I have to find time again to take another one.
got the same muffler sounds good

Stambo, are you running a cat?

My set up is: 3in Berk down pipe, vibrant ultra quiet resonator, and Magna flow 14834 muffler. I'm cat less.
