Is there any of the "force the sandy grit compound through them like you can do to a stock manifold to enlarge it" going on?

We'll i just sprayed it quick with parts cleaner and on she went... :-$ it was sort of a pain removing two heat shields to get to the bolts, other than that it went on without taking any studs out, i did however have to remove the spark plugs to maneuver the p-log in there... went for a test drive but it didn't seem to help my knock at all yet, actually it may have went up a degree or so, not to happy about that, but that's where tuning comes in to play... does have better acceleration and seems a bit quicker initially but then on the shift to second the knock rises... Fuel trims are all wacky, 15.6 LTFT was the highest but that's with no throttle just rolling down the hill. That number is a little higher than before the p-log.... Maybe the computer needs a couple hundred miles to try and compensate what it can and my knock will maybe go down.. #-o

If you have the newest Aeroforce with Bi-directional controls, reset the fuel trims, and go from there. You will need a tune to skew the front injectors 2-3% higher than the rears.

How loud is your car without the resonator? /offtopic

I'm a little afraid of resetting the fuel trims because I've heard in most cases there KR goes up even more... I have thought about doing it tho, but i'll let it go for a while and see what happens... Without the resonator i think the car sounds great especially on first startup, it has a nice rumble to it and then calms down a little, i don't think it is loud at all.... i was thinking of getting magnaflow but I am pretty satisfied with the sound of the stock mufflers... :wink:
