Made a flying trip to Orange Park for a Cobra Exhaust install and to visit the famous DR at Reinhart Automotive today. Arthur did a great job with the install. He also installed my Gorilla Locking Lug Nuts so that I wouldn't "bust a nut" and an Addco front Sway Bar to match the previously installed rear. I expected a nicer sound and perhaps a little quicker rev..holy crap. Brand new, not seat of the pants but butt stuck in the seat crack, awesum increase in power. Surprise me, this Trilogy loves blowing thru bigger holes in the out pipes. The first time I punched it she got sideways..fishtail... on the shift into second! WTF. This exhaust pushed me from hey Wow to holy sheet! I think the X pipe must help a lot and for sure the Cobra manifolds are a lot larger than the little stock ones that were on my car. When you go to Orange Park take some catnip for the kitty and some tranquilizers for the Mexican Jumping Bean Dog. Oh, and a Gin and Tonic for Debbie. Dennis:beer: Note: I have not been reimbursed by Mr. Reinhart altho his cat did try to sleep on my face.

Huge increase in the fun factor, eh?

Wait 'til you hit some twisties and see how much better it handles with both of the sway bars upgraded!

You know, I really didn't think I needed the front bar as the rear really made a world of difference and the handling was so superior to the 03 CV Sport. But, as she told me; how do you know till you try it? The car is FLAT and with the power and the control understeer is optional, finally. Yup, this is one fun ride! Dennis:D

We enjoyed having you, and your car runs great, the Xpipe setup actual made the exhaust quieter, Dennis was thinking of changing mufflers.

Javier,
You are my trailblazer and my hero. Now, may I borrow your granddaughter? No? of course not, but could we arrange the picnic so that Penny and I can see her and you and Mayra some time soon? I know you are having a great Christmas. Take care my friend. Dennis:beer:
