That sounds about right, hope you have a better result. What wheels & tyre combo have you got on ?.

How do you like the T1R's?
I think I'm gonna get rid of the runflats soon...they are lasting forever. Normally I blow through a set of tires in 10-15k miles....I'm at 11k on these and there's a ton of tread left still.

fernflex, couple of questions regarding your Graham Goode Racing downpipe.
Any trouble installing to your invidia exhaust? Did it bolt up or did you have to modify, cut & weld?
Any CEL's? Did you just fit the O2 sensors or did you modify the fitting to reduce possibility of CEL's?
How many miles do you have on the downpipe?
Any other info you can share regarding the fit, finish and quality of the downpipe?
Do you have emissions testing in PR?
Look forward to your response. Really want a dp but don't want the hassle of CEL's or have to cut and weld my Milltek. GGR said it should just bolt up but I would rather have a report from someone that actually has their product fitted.
Cheers!

Installing the dp to the Invidia was completly bolt on, I insatalledback the dp heat shield also. The installation was done in one hour. When installing the back the down pipe bolf was a little difficult because of the bigger tube. I installed with the stock clamp to my Invidia. The stock dp have two locking point near the curve. ( in that area I only bolted to one of the bolts and the other I removed because It was getting late and I wante to finish but I havent got any problem because of that)
I have the cel on because of the Hi-flow (100 cel cat) but I am going to install the O2 extender to see if it does anything. I really dont care about the cel the car sound is amazing and the performance.
Last night I was running with a STI and I stayed all the way from 25 to 120 in his bumper. He was running on high octane fuel and had Intake and turbo back 3'' and dont know what else.
It has almos 500 miles since I installed. And no weird ound coming from the installation.
The downpipe quality was very good and if I am not worng the weight was the same as the stock or less, I used all the stock clamps, bolts and the exhaust gasket. The installation was done by me with the help of a friend and two ramps.
In PR we have emission test once a year after the car is two years old but I have a friend in one of the inspection point and I just have to give him my car licence and he passes the emission test with anothe car so I dont have problem with that. I dont know how thy are done in the states but here are done by individuals that are onwers of fuel stations.
I havent seen a Miltek exhaust but I didnt cut anything in mine if Miltek is the same you will have no problems about the Cel's I think the best way is to find another dp with a better catalytic.
As soons as I install the 02 extender I will let you all know the results.

Yeah!!!!
I never race in 1st gear because is wheelspin too much after 3500rpm, that 2nd gear.
Last monday I went to the track and I race with a V8 mustang running in the 13.4 and I stayed in his door all the 1/4. Also raced with a all motor Civic Si running 14.0@102 and another mustang running 13.8 but everytime I had problems from 1st to 3rd gear because my Toyo T1R are not holding the power.
I want to upgrade to 215/45/17
