Speaking of things going on in your head, why would you risk damaging your motor and not even have the money to fix it when it goes??? Your car has been sitting blown up for almost a year. Most people that play the game have the money to back it up, in your case I dont know what you were thinking.

If im not right your car is a 04 also you had said that Bari does product does not have consuicty that some necks were longer then others some are better then others. and also he redid it diff from the one i had on my car.
so what it is wroth he can have the DP back and all that other stuff. i would have gave it back to him way back in the day but he had a problem retuning peoples calls.

on the qtp subject i dont know about the dp he has now. all i know is that me and you were the first test fits. and there was a third test fit car with the products he sells now and i installed it with him and it seemed to go smoothly. the only thing that was a little tuff was the spring loaded o2 bolts. but thats only because the springs so they dont back out. i know mine come on and off very easy now since i fixed the rest of my exhaust.

wax. do you think that AMS, Buschur, and ETS tune there cars and say im going to tune this so it can drive safely for 100k miles. no they tune the **** out of it so they can get the most power and performance, while trying to be safe. mike is pretty much doing the same thing... he wants records he knows hes pushing his car as hard as it can go. and he knows what can happen by doing this. you dont get records by sayn hey tune me as safe as you can. mike went into it knowing the ups and the downs of being tuned how he was... very easy to see whats going on in his head...

he wants records hes going to push his car. end of story.
