I need the extra noise. I know I'm not going to notice the power, but I need my car to have a good exhaust tone, nah mean? I think I'll be able to afford the 20v swap by summer or so....by then the rest of the car will be completed. I want to keep this thing forever. Do you still have one or did you sell both of them?
