i just felt the need to publicly thank stuart for taking care of me on a sunday of all things, i just purchased the cats with the touring exhaust and hope to have them installed by the end of the week. also i had a set of wheels made that i forgot to share with the group, i wanted something simple but classy to me and looked as if they could have easily just come already on the car. i will post up a video clip of the exhaust once it is installed and i will also get some better pictures of the wheels.







the wheels were done by trueforged, this company has had my business for years and i have had several sets on my mustangs. i hounded him to come up with a new design and we worked together to get the above set up.

 

Congrats! Please let us know the difference after you install the cats, I'm interested in buying a set for my car , but I don't know it adding cats to the tubi exhaust would be a lot of noise lol.

 

Same here, I have Quicksilver exhaust and am concerned adding the cats may be too loud and also have yet to see someone stand by a performance gain with them.

I like the wheels, do you have spacers on the rears? They seem to fill out more.

 

no spacers, this was the first set for an aston he had made. they could actually come out another 1/4" or so and had i realized that lip was going to be so minor i would have opted to not do it and just run the face flush to the hoop to fit more tire.

 

What size tires?

 

Great looking wheels, and yes, Stuart is a Prince. He has helped me while I wait to buy an AM, and has treated me like family.

 

i have to get the info in the morning, i do not remember off of the top of my head

 

I have the same exhaust setup as you are getting Sgt d! It sounds great!!! Not to loud at lower rpm's but when you get on it it really comes alive. Check out my video...

i actually was watching your video about two minutes before i decided to pull the trigger..lol..

 

This video begs a question that I have wanted to ask for quite a while.

This is the first Vantage that I have seen with the mods installed that IS NOT done on top of the Vantage Sport Pack option already on the car. Since the Sport Pack really is just an upgrade of the dampers, how important are the dampers when using the RSC upgrades to the springs, ECU, TCU, cats and exhaust?

I had assumed (dangerous) that I needed to look for a car with the Sport Pack already on it. What experience do those of you have with a 4.7 without the Sport Pack option, but with the RSC mods?

 

^ Staurt will have to answer that question.

 

fedex man just arrived, i am going to finish lunch and then headed to the shop. i will get a fly by of the stock sound and then a flyby of the touring with the cats. damn stuart, that got here extremely fast!

 

wow! i was afraid of it sounding like a plain ol' v8 but this thing screams. i was actually afraid that the touring may not be loud enough but it is impressive and definitely gives you a different feel in the ****pit. we have a small leak that we will address tomorrow but for the most part it was a simple install, i initially had buyers remorse but at this point the smile is from ear to ear.

i did get the videos however i am an iphone newbie and they are upside down, let me see if i can flip them and then i will post it. the car does feel different, more than i expected it to. i know opening up the exhaust was going to help but it revs through alot faster and it even seems to be more responsive.

 

lol, the filter caught the ****pit. easier identified as the cabin or seat of the pants..........

 

ok here are the videos, the exhaust leak is fixed so i need to get another video because it did change the tone of it.
