Currently I love my Tanabe but I know I'm robbing myself of power with only the y-pipe and axle back. If I had know Tanabe didn't make a mid-pipe for the sedan I would've never bought the axle back. I priced one shop for mandrel bent piping and they want $800-$1200. FTS!

I have the axle back on my g right now, and y-pipe currently waiting for spring. Aren't the tanabe mid and y-pipe the same for coupe and sedan?
I'm looking at ECUtek also. Might just mean a road trip to CT but I would like to talk to John a bit more about pricing etc. I'll wait until the maps are out in any case. It sounds like there is definitely something to be said for the tuner in addition to the tune. John seems to be doing some pretty darn slick work from what I'm seeing.
CT is a 6 hour drive for me... But I'd still make that road trip in a heartbeat for a skilled and proven Tuner shop. However, I've a few more years of mods before getting tuned, which a perfect amount of time to watch this ECUTek thing develop.
I think the wrap on the front chin is interesting. Probably have lots more design balance if the sculpted area of the rear bumper were similarly wrapped.

6 hours is definitely better than my drive! I was hoping to find an auto train but they apparently don't exist much anymore. We'll see. I know my step-dad could make use of a trailer as long as it was for 18' cars. I don't mind the drive but would definitely need to space it out instead of the compressed drives I've been doing lately.
My original thought was to head to Z1 for the UpRev but after hearing about the comparison and talking a little bit to John, then seeing the numbers he's creating and the positive feedback I am definitely rethinking things and leaning in that direction. I haven't been to CT in quite some time anyway, be interesting to get back and see how things have changed, if the time of year is right leaf looking is always good too.

It's acting as a bandade if you will.
Gotcha!
