This shop is out here in Cambridge and the owner, Kevin, has bought and modified an 8. He's done intake (big, fat K&N) and exhaust (you wouldn't believe how loud this car is) and he has a CO2 kit that, last I checked (which was last summer) that was midway into installation.

Here's some info: http://www.essentialspeed.com/projects/Essential8.htm

I have some video of the exhaust system (we shot it to get the sound) but I'm unable to host it. Would someone like to host it?

I was going to send it to your email via my Hotmail account.

I haven't sent it yet b/c I discovered that the compressed version I used to have has been deleted. So I had to re-crunch the original .avi, and while I was doing that I figured I'd add a title to it. :D

It's done now and will be on its way in a moment.


It's gone...
