BTW, if you want to see the details on my exhaust mods and dyno results, I posted a vid several years ago here: https://youtu.be/MdCQg2tJFYg.
Thanks for the video Michael. Interesting that the Max Flow mufflers actually make a little more HP than the Super Cup ones! I've already got those same Fabspeed headers with 200 cell catalysts, so if I get the itch for more power, replacing my CircuitWerks mid pipes and stock muffler would be the next step.

Nice work Ike. Your idea is similar to how Porsche runs their GT4 Cayman race cars... dual intakes running to the rear window vents.

Only potential downside of your design is the intake temps. Have you read the temps in the trunk during normal operation?

Solid work!

Thanks for the props!

The intake temps are an issue with the rad expansion tank in there. Here's a chart from this morning. Ambient temp was 78deg. These measurements are from the OEM IAT sensor. You can see a pretty quick climb, this was start to finish on a 13 min drive. I should have charted water temps too but they never exceeded 185. More work to be done! Maybe I'll go ahead and install the water air intercoolers now lol.

Another subjective thing I can say about the performance difference is how freely the engine revs now in neutral. My very first reaction after I pushed my tune was shock over the difference there.

The throttle body from the 2.5 is the same OD as the 3.4 TB, the ID is the only difference. So what i'm saying is I'm not sure if the IDP would make a difference on my car or not. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make an $800 difference. Maybe on a 2.7 of 3.2 it would?
Can you help me know where you found your larger throttle body? I can’t find the correct one and don’t have a part number to reference. I have the ipd plenum but can’t find the cable throttle body needed to bolt up to it.
