How’s that thing performance wise vs when it was stock. This pretty much same set up my wife’s wanting to do on her bighorn cc

Honestly, it's got a little more pep and pick up and go. I've got the ported throttle body, 180 tstat, oil catch can, Vararam intake, Carven Progressive muffler, and Moe's 5" tips. I did a 90 mile round trip yesterday, all highway all cruise control, and trip reading was 18.2 mpg, that's at an average of 70mph into strong winds. Going to have my JBA shorty headers installed this week and may have my mechanic put it on the Dyno after, just out of curiosity, and compare it to a stock/factory baseline if I can find one. I love driving it and love the sound so far. After the Shorty's go on I will be pretty much done.

That all we wanna do to hers. I say all but that’s a lot haha. Especially when mine needs more suspension. Kids don’t need to eat and new clothes do they :banana-mario:
