Our design reduces that number to 150-200 lb/hp, this is the type of numbers you would see in comparable cars that feel nimbler.
Thanks, I'll be placing an order soon, after the dealer finally figures out what the dang erratic clacking noise in my engine is. What is the lead time for a whole new unit, mine is my DD so i can't send in mine to be reworked. Plus my car is under warranty so i would need to revert it back to stock when i take it in.

A more spirited city driving would come at a cost, not significant.

To our surprise, on highway driving several customers have reported slight improvements in fuel economy.

I think it would be a good idea to post dyno videos and the dyno charts of it on this platform.

I notice you guys are in alabama, what part? If you aren't too terribly far out, I wouldn't mind stopping by to pick one up instead of bothering with shipping, that is, if you support that.

They are in Daphne, way down south close to Mobile except on the other side of the bay.

We are in Daphne, by the Mobile Bay. You are welcome to stop by when you are around.

Thanks,

Thanks,
That's a little further than I'd just cruise around to, but I may do this on my way to Destin in the near future.

The install is something you could literally do in your driveway.
