Oh well I have purchased the battery and will pick it up today. I had a online chat with a Advance Auto rep and asked who makes their batteries. Was told they are made by GNB or Johnson Controls. I can't friggen believe it since I have picked up the beast it has rained every day and last night it snowed !!! Tomorrow it is supposed to be sunny and near 50 so some miles will be added to the beast.

How about a sound clip for a pre and post tune comparison? I'm sure a lot of peeps would like to hear the beasts growl???

911monty i am working on it. I just picked up the battery and installed it in the car. I have my maintainer on it right now . Got lucky the build date of the battery was december 2015. It is way too cold and icey out to do anything today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I hope to get a video and audio clip tomorrow.

Not endorsing Advance as I tend to spread my buying around, but if you look at Slickdeals.net and search on Advance Auto Parts coupons or codes they are usually posted.

I got a Stant Thermostat assembly for a BMW E46 earlier this week at Advance for $38!
