well ****... might have to scratch it
just got a call from my hall and i'm getting sent to a job at Colbert Steam Plant(TVA) on Friday, thought they say it'll only be half a day... hopefully I can still make it
not really complaining, making TVA scale will be nice

I have the worst timing with everything, lol
can't really complain about TVA scale and 4/10s though, so if anything i'll just reschedule for the next week
have to go for my safety orientation and drug testing on Friday hopefully we'll be out of there about 10:30-11ish
i'm thinking 305-315 as well

I put down 308whp 346 wtq at 24 psi on my stock K04 and Trifecta tune last year.
I forgot to turn ESC off, so I don't know how much or if it messed with my results.
The only think not modified on my car is a CAI, no one makes one for us

no I really don't I did my fair share in high school and when I was in college but I couldn't afford to bust out on one now, it'd be bad... what i'm shooting for in life would all but be shot with the failure of one, so I just stay clean and leave that burden behind...
and I'm torn again so i'm going to let you guys decide:
$600:
1.) new wheels
or
2.) Hahn catback
I'm going to eventually probably do both but which would you do 1st, I like the wheels well enough and really like the sound of the Hahn Catback.... kind of leaning toward it, but whatever you guys decide is what i'm going to do because i'm back and forth and always do this when modding my cars, its especially bad when I get ready to buy, my mouse will hover over the "buy" button for a solid hour on major purchases, lol... especially something cosmetic like wheels... now if its a tune, etc. i'm all for it, but if its something I don't necessarily "need".....look out

because that'd probably turn out like ****....
plus it would take a while for them to get the bends right, etc... plus I want a resonator in it
in the end, I might save $200 but i'll take the craftsmanship of the Hahn... I don't like the way the MPX goes over the axle and the MBS has to be welded and they claim its a bitch to hang(doesn't even come with hangers)...

I woud know, I use to program, setup and run CNC benders before I started college. (my last job)
I picked out the resonator and exhaust on the van myself, I think it turned out damn well and it only cost me $200 for the exhaust to be fabbed up, plus cost of resonator and muffler ($150). $350
I guarantee the bends under the van are tigher and the whole system was more complicated to fab up then a HHR SS or Cobalt SS/TC cat back will be.
Most shops don't run into problems until they have to do 3" mandrel bends.
Any how just something to think about money wise.

yeah I hear you on that... and if we had a reliable exhaust shop in the area, i'd most certainly do it... that is where half the problem lies, the best one we had has quit doing exhaust work and started powder coating, but if you guys need some wheels powder coated, lol
and with the Hahn exhaust I know it'll be a quality piece with good welds, bends, etc...
his **** may be ridiculously overpriced(intercooler, IC piping, tuner) but it is some quality stuff... and honestly, other than the MPX(which i've already explained its con) and the MBS(which isn't a complete kit), Hahns is cheaper than ZZPs exhaust(when priced with a resonator which the Hahn includes in the $566 price)... and theirs doesn't look that great to be honest
the Corsa version is $800 and Borla finally released theirs: $700... Magnaflow which is the most affordable of those two has yet to release one and appears won't, so of the higher end exhaust systems, Hahn is actually the way to go on this one
