After installing a race ECM and K&N last week, I installed a race can on my '06 Ss tonight. To all those who told me to do it myself even though I live in an apartment, you couldn't have been MORE right! I got in on in about an hour. The bike fired up the first time (TPS reset was done last week with the ecm install). I checked for leaks and shut it down. I fired it up again 5-10 minutes later and it stalled. I started it again and gave it a bit of throttle and it stayed lit, then settled down into a 1000 rpm idle. I took it out for a 4 mile ride to reset the AFV. Seems like it's got a little sputter from 2500-3000. Maybe it's always been there and I couldn't hear it, maybe I need some more miles on it. The sound is great. I couldn't imagine having anything louder but that's just me. I did the work in a parking deck, and now I know every car here that's got an alarm Thanks again to everyone who gave me advice on this. |

You will usually lose a little midrange when you go from the standard ecm or exhaust but should pick up a little in the top end. |

Hah, car alarms. Just for curiosity's sake, how many owners' showed up to check their cars? Nice to know it was so straightforward. |

Not one. No one showed up to check and there for 4 or 5 blaring. I'm in Pasadena CA, where you'll see an 89 Toyota Corolla parked next to an Aston Martin DBS in an apartment's lot. Strange stuff. |
