Yea i already did all that. So does anyone know why i would be slower after im open dp??? Also i thought about it, and i changed the spark plugs with ngk coppers at the same time, but they where the non v-power ones, does that make a difference?

You loose low end torque for more top end. It will feel peppy in low rpms with the exhaust being more restrictive. With the open DP she feels kinda like a dog before you start to hit 6+psi to what ever your running. Your high rpms/ top end is actually making more power your just prolly not noticing that over all the noise.

I thought that, but last night I lost to a g35... I dont know what all he had except some big ass dual exhaust but I didnt not expect to loose so i blamed it on the open dp.

Yeah man thats freakin awesome, i want to do the TT swap soooo bad but all the guys on here say its not worth it and to get a vr-4. I dont want a heavy vr-4, i just want the tt motor in my 99. roughly how much did it cost to do the whole project, how much time did you put into it, and does your fronts spin as much as they say they will? any help will be greatly appreciated.
