I got mine welded in and my axlebacks welded for $50. He was a certified welder and he told me he wouldn't call that an x pipe, he would call it a muffler. Now if he would've cut it in half, it probably would've been a different story.

I was thinking of cams, then that didn't pan out. Then supercharger, that didn't pan out until recently. Never been a big turbo fan..

The tuning just killed it. Trifecta made a lot of false promises then slunk away when we started to wise up. I think IPF is on the right track now, though.

I know a guy who is a trifecta dealer and they wanted a detailed parts list of everything so they can decide if they want to do it. I would much rather have the instant power of the supercharger. But nothing beats the sound of a BOV.

No. Like I said, the numbers are not there for the price on this vehicle in my opinion. Like I said, I will now only be cosmetically modding this car.

Of course, that's a decision everyone has to make on their own, with their own budget and needs and wants.

Is it a kit or are you doing your own thing? iPF tuning?

That is what I thought. I only asked since your wording made it seem like you were considering the IPF kit

No I just believe it is the only feasible kit out there. I believe it is probably very high quality and a good option.

Yea I have to agree after seeing two kits in person it is the best option out there. I myself plan on stopping with performance after my BBKs and IPF tune. To me the LTs sound great but then again I have never heard shorties in person
