Ask those little rotary-kamikazes what kind of money they invest, and what kind of engine management they use

A suicidal investiment!

This line, while interesting (and I am interested), is off topic. It deserves a new thread and include and links/references. It should be enlightening.

Sorry about that guys, Ray is just a book of knowledge so I figured I'd probe him or whatever. :D Plus it is true, I'd really like to hear what Ray thinks about that.

This would be an interesting topic and it wouldn't find a audience in here. I would like to read what others have to say about this. That was the only reason for my post.

As mentioned in previous posts, you will need a Cobb Accessport or some other form of tuning software that will kill the CEL so when you go for inspection, it will not come up and allow you to pass.

I think my current cat has figured out I sent the check to BHR for the midpipe... getting some of the early "clogged" warning signs.

Well, I have yet to order my BHR midpipe but this week I should financially permitting I'll send the money order out. However it will be a month till I install.

I am due for inspection(i thought in June, but DMV says the sticker on car is what to go by).
Getting a compression check(feel a slight loss in power, just checking it out)
Getting a "stock dyno" (green air filter/gutted airbox, i know mad horsepower, just saying).

After installing the midpipe and probably a catback I will go back for another dyno(untuned).

So I hope I will be able to provide BHR with a nice dyno number on their sexy midpipe!
