It's funny because there is a dude with a stock 40th in my neighborhood that keeps revving at me every time I see him. Little does he know.

hey Corn, you know if a good place to get 2 gauge wire and two fuse blocks?
here is the description from Ebay...

Made with high-impact and heat resistant ABS Plastic

Dimensions: 19.5" inch (Length) x 8.3" inch (Width)

Quickly and easily install with concealed 3M tape (no cutting or drilling required)

Painted with Black finished and ready to repaint.

Updated your car with this elegant designed sport racing Hood Scoop.

Hard to find in other store!

FITS all vehicles

if it is too narrow maybe get 2 of them??? they run around $30 with shipping

for the wire and fuse blocks check a car audio place like custom sounds or auto extras I believe most of them will sell you it by the foot...

Ran into this guy at my office on Bitters and Blanco... His 40th is stock with no appearrance package just the rear wing. Sounds loud. He says he has an Intake, my guess is an K&N ver 2 from the way it sounds or an AEM..

Thanks dude, Lowes actually sells it by the foot and it's high quality black stuff but I did some research today and found a reservoir that I can mount without relocating the battery so I figure I'll save myself some bucks for my oil cooler because those freakin' fittings are expensive!!

Soooo........Who wants to help do a SOHN adapter tomorrow?

Well, it's an install meet, so hopefully everyone will be willing to help everyone. I'll give a hand but dont know much about what the install actually entails. How do you plan on wiring it?

The SOHN doesn't require wiring and I won't be relocating my battery after all (glad I had the mix up with the relocation kit) so it should just be wrench time and that's it.

Really? Goes to show how little I know about the install process for this. Oh well, I'll still lend a hand where I can.

Ah, I just looked it up and it makes more sense now. I thought it was an electrical pump. It looks fairly simple in concept, though maybe a tad tedious.

about to head out since I want my exhaust to cool off a bit. Not sure if grunge has it, so if someone has an allen wrench tool they could bring, that would be useful. The adjustable tip for the exhaust uses a standard nut on one side and an allen bolt on the other...

It's loud as hell lol. I'm still in between liking it and disliking it. I've started to figure out how to drive it a little more conservatively since it gets loud so quickly. It's a tad on the ricey side but in that rotary way so I dont mind that as much. I know that it must shoot some awesome flames cause the backfire is VERY loud. Since rotaries have the tendency to backfire, I like how easy it is to get light backfires as well. I took a video of the night before the meet with the RB exhaust and I'm planning on doing the exact same thing with the new exhaust, but as I'm sure you guys noticed, it's been a tad rainy today.

If it was just a little quieter during casual driving, I think I would have no problems with it. I'm still kind of on the fence, but for now I'd say I'm leaning towards liking it. In the next couple weeks I'm either going to come to like it or grow very tired of it. We'll see.
