Planet 9

Well, it's been about 8 months since I installed my Fabspeed Catback exhaust - and I guess I've finally had enough of the drone.

I really like how it sounds under full throttle, and on the track, and have appreciated whatever HP increase it provided; but, as a daily driver, with a Tiptronic that frequently holds the RPMs right in the drone zone when driving around town, I decided to switch back to my stock exhaust.

Gorgeous weather for August in Hallett, Oklahoma, and a few pics of a fun day at the track:



Robert, who I made carsick a few months ago when I gave him a ride-along in my car, paid me back by outrunning me in his new, tricked-out JCW Mini Cooper S. I could still beat him down the straights, but with his Hoosiers, and me on NT05s, I couldn't hang with him through the turns.
