Rare Solara Convertible

Finished today. Headers, Y-pipe, dual rear cat with Magnaflow mufflers with dual rear tips plus one resonator.
1st impression? The low rumble pitch is a little much, almost tough on the ears, but it seemed to have gotten quieter on the 35 mile drive home. Once the computer adjusts, it should quiet down some, I was told. Have to go back to finish the S-AFC, which should allow more tweaking.
Power increase? Not much yet, if any. But I remeber it took 500 miles or so for the initial power kick of the S/C to be fully in effect.
Also Iridium plugs and Magnecor wires. To be further evaluated
------------------------
Brought the ragtop back. It was too much. It hurt the eardrums.Installed was one baffle and the old resonator from the Toyota factory pipe, which they cut out.
F---ing sweet. The pitch is nice; the rumble is almost perfect. Power seemed to be increasing as the computer adjusts.
The only drawback is at appx 20-35 mph @ appx 1700-2000 rpm, the drone can be a "intrusive" for a bit, but overall, it is bad butt.
Pictures soon of the engine, under the car, and the slick twin-tipped Magnaflow mufflers.
PIX SOON.
