Yes Sir, I am excited to get this stuff on the car for testing again. I am about 99% done collecting the test data with the OEM exhaust. Just have to run a couple of videos and then it is on to the DKF system.

If the system works as designed, the drone will be greatly reduced and possibly eliminated. If this is the case, then would be able to run a system just as loud as our RPI's but without the head pounding effects of the drone. All the raw motor sport burbles and pops during deceleration and down shifting, the same primal growl at WOT, and none of the headache. Win, Win

Thank you, this has become a hobby for me. I really injoy getting down the bottom line with real data on "upgrades"
