Default So excited

Today I shipped off the computers in my car to Will for one of his tunes. I'm pretty stoked to get it back.
The wife talked me into having it tuned permanetely for 87 octane. We(she...) didn't want to have to commit to premium seems as though we're pcsing to california in July and they have some of the highest fuel prices over there. I'm also having DoD tuned out.
It's horrible seeing my car in the garage cause no matter how much i want to take it out for a drive it's completely dead lol. Battery is disconnected with no computers in it. Sigh lol.
Once I get everything back together I'll post up a quick review of how I like the tune.

I'm not modded very much. Doing a couple things while I'm waiting, that I had him tune for. Nothing over the top though. Not really looking to do much to it. Mostly the transmission part of the tune. Interested in the improved shift points. I'm not swapping throttle bodies or anything like that. Just replaced my cat with a Magnaflow downpipe, and adding a cai. That's about it.

Not really planning on modding anything else. Just appearance things.

I believe it is. I've heard criticism that they are more restrictive than say a ZZP pipe. But it is way better than what was on there stock. I got it at O'reilly (sp) Auto Parts. They had it in stock for $209. I checked it out on Magnaflow's website first.
