Torched vs Audi R8 *video*

I miss posting on this section lol!

First I will admit I was out solely to pick on somebody last night.It was a perfect cool night to make runs.I was hoping to catch a Mustang or maybe Corvette..hunting for another Hellcat.But I found a small group darting around.The bike was first,he was on/off the throttle and cutting lanes before I decided to turn the camera on and open my cutout.I pulled up to him and gave a friendly rev to catch his attention.He backed off and proceeded on.Thats when up ahead i rolled up to a very ratty looking dark grey or matte black corolla maybe speeding up as I wanted to get closer to the Audi ahead.There was a Merc also playing with the Audi I wanted to get next to him,looked like an older amg 4 door but not sure which model.When I finally got to the Audi I realized he was with this lil white Toyota cressida that had work done to it...alot as he was leading the way.I knew he was the faster of the 2 so egg on the Audi and he would line up next.It was gutted,caged and had decent tire on it for a small light car.

Heres where I need to get new mounts for the camera to mount to my cage because I need to turn the camera so it captures just how bad I yanked that poor Audi.We lined up finally and slowed down roughly to 60mph,the Audi was waiting for the cressida to move over.I dropped into 3rd.Once the toyota moved over I went for it rolling on 3rd expecting the audi to hang better than that,pausing between shifts to see if he was still on it and gave it a lil more in 4th as I saw him still at least 4 cars back.Exchanged the thumbs up as he caught back up

Great..now lets get the toyota up.He had his windows down and I waved on 3.This time I stomped all of 3rd and the lil cressida hung for maybe a second before he was also getting gapped.Knowing how much attention was being drawn it was time to cool down and return home.I went for the next exit and the cressida gave a friendly honk and thumbs up.Its a small win but having the car down for so long and miss cruising around,this was a reward.The Audi did look good in the rearview! Had to be the v8.

Well, you have me sold on that Hawks spoiler. I like the way it looks, doesn't deviate much from stock. As far as the 700 horsepower that it's now throwing down, that is excellent work. You mentioned the exhaust being an obstruction, what are your plans for resolving that? Did your tuner give you some suggestions...?

Indeed he did give me sound advice as to what to fix. Basically where my downpipe ends is about where the factory cat would be.In that spot I have a flex pipe which then connects to straight pipe...then to a hollowed out mini cat,then my cutout which is located just before the over-axle. Though its all 3inch, we suspect the cat inside diameter is still too small or could be still clogged,plus the cutout needs to be much closer to the turbo for better flow.I hope that once I get that taken care of...the full power potential of the setup can be reach.Even as it stands now....she hauls the mail better than I ever couldve asked for.

The spoiler is nice,Im happy with it.The weight savings alone is another reason to do it.my trunk release motor has never been happier lol,the thing almost opens fully on its own now.
