Thanks for the review! I am a little disappointed that you lost
some low end tourque, but the car is a Grand Tourer, and benefits
from midrange power. I think I'll hold off for a bit because if
anything, I want more low end power. It doesn't help matters that
my other car is a 69 charger with a 440 six pack. It has like 400+
lb/ft of tourque! My little D' engine just can't compare.
I did take it to the exhaust shop today for some repairs. Previous
Owner backed into a curb and broke some stuff. Local shop was
excited to work on it and will do custom fab and new, stainless tips
for $120!
Have fun with the DMCH system and keep us posted as it "settles in"
