Default FD Upgrades Just Completed Yesterday

Just completed the Larini X-Pipe and NEW Mufflers install along with all the other great stuff from FD and all I can say is WOW!

First the sound, the most mellow but thoaty idle (car sounds ready to launch just sitting there), unleash the beast and it sounds pretty much like the clip Jeff has posted but just not quite as loud (didn't do the cats but thinkin about it already)
Did the 1.25" drop which really makes it look like a custom (ride is a little rougher than stock and I find myself paying more attention to the road condition and steering around stuff but I'm liking it also, haven't has a chance to get into the twistys yet)
Best is the way it shifts and the performance increase, NOW it shifts like I had a gearshift and clutch (moves smartly off the line and changes gears quickly and effortlessly and I suspect with way less clutch wear) Performance, I can't give you the total report yet as it's raining here. However, I just breathe on the pedal and it breaks loose, me thinks its gonna scream, sun coming out later today ).
Did the air filter and just for sh*ts n giggles put in the ferrari horns which clear the road ahead when the headlight flicker fails.
Thanks again Jeff, you under promised and over provided.
BTW, no warning lights, no problems with the install, local shop did a great job!
