I have a buschur magnaflow cat-back, it sounds great....I had it on my VIII for a few months then got the IX and never re-installed it. Im debating going full tbe or keeping my warranty and just throwing the catback on for sh**s and giggles. It fit great on the VIII, the construction on it is very good as well...

i am far from an autocross expert, but from a beginner to a beginner i have some good tips for you that other more expierienced drivers have shared with me.

pay attention during your course walk through, do it as many times as you can.

go slow your first run and just make sure you stay on course.

drive the car like you know how to do. you know exactley what you need to do, you just may not realize it yet.

don't worry about being the fastest out there, just try to keep improving a little with each run.

talk to other drivers when you are there. most of them are very friendly and love talking about what they're doing.

and above all, just have fun with it.

yea supasix, I'll be there on sunday. Im doing the lap day on the north track tho. come find me if you like. Im sure i'll take a few runs on the auo-x course in between sessions. I'll help you out.

Now don't feel bad Dan. LOL. its okay that you have a problem. the first step is admitting it. the real reason i don't race you is you'll woop my ****. no need for me to see just how much faster your car is .

south park mitsu has been pretty forgiving for me. they have spent a good bit of time trying to chanse down a strange suspension knock i was having. i only have a turbo timer, rear strut tower brace, rear sway bar, and adjustble end links.

but when i took it too biondi they refused to even look for my suspension noise with the sway bar on. so in that respect south park is much more kind.

totally depends on what you are getting done though. if it's not routine service, warranty work, or oil changes i would avoid the dealers.
