That's how I use it

In coherence mode, with the start bar hidden on one side of the screen, and my dock hidden on the other. It's like the perfect program.

Hi `Mike, I don't know how I missed your thread post on your downpipe + pic's, but I'm glad I found `it : )

...2 thumbs `up on the Win : ) 4 Sure : )
Glad 2 read that it hasn't thrown any codes.
Is there a noted difference in power ?
Was the cost worth the performance ?
Should MPG increase with the better flow ?
Would you advise member's to have it done to their Monte's ?
Could you send me $ 4 my Monte Fund or just fun ?

Thanks for posting/sharing & help'in so many Monte Family Member's 4-Sure....Will be sitting here waiting 4 your reply

Peace/Out & a happy 2 everyone that reads this

None from what I can feel.

For the amount of supporting mods I will be getting, in time I will say yes.

It should, but I won't really feel that until I get my tune.

Of course, even just for the U-Bend delete and to stop the corrosion on that pipe that I had.

it threw my code about a week later almost to the hour, also filled up about and hour b4 that. i got mine custom dyno tuned out to pass the PA emissions. i noticed lots more lowend torque, the dyno will prove it!!! i think it make a little more low rumble to the exhaust up till about 5000RPM them it kinda stops that lowerend rumble.

As of now the only performance mods done are the ZZP 2.5" downpipe and the dyno tune and i have gained 10WHP

The basic mods that i first noticed made a difference when i was naturally aspirated was when i had my k&N + zzp pcm + plog + zzp downpipe. that combo made a noticable gain. alone, i dont think much. not noticable anyways. i say if you got a plog next, you'll be a happy camper.

after those mods, i did the rockers and didnt notice anything. i did 1.9's since i was planning on supercharging it. wonder what it would feel like if i took the rockers out now.......
your building a solid monte, keep it up blacksheep. and congrats on winning MOTM! welcome to the club!

Well I was waiting on the PLOG that you have :P

But I guess you aren't doing headers anymore? did that deal you saw fall through?

I have been debating on doing the PLOG when I do the HV3 + ER Rockers, this way it's a part of the tune and even MORE of a feeling. It all comes down to money. We'll see what I get for my birthday, and such. Hopefully I will get this all done in August and be done with it so I can finally start getting small pieces each paycheck.

it didnt fall through, the guy actually still has the offer on the table. i just needed to take care of a few other bills first. im probably gonna wait till after i get my car smogged in november to get them, that way incase i do get screwed, i have 2 years worry free haha. maybe sooner if the money comes.....ya never know.
just ordered new red diagonal braces and a polished tstat housing from zzp, along with a high flow fuel filter. got them all off my core credit just trying to take care of misc. appearance stuff for the 4th of july car show its going in.
but you are definately first in line. the plog is in great shape, practically looks new still since its ceramic coated.

If you wait until November to get the headers, I should have my plog by then, but thanks

I don't think I'm gonna do my crossover though, so keep me in mind for that one :P

What braces did you order? I'm just painting mine...
