So I ordered the 034 HFC's and I expect to take delivery on the 15th. On the 16th I have an installation scheduled . I'm excited for a few extra hp and a more aggressive exhaust note. As a comparison I took some videos last night and they're posted below. As is my car posted a best of 356AWHP on Awe's dyno. This is an improvement from 302AWHP stock. I have added W/M and LW wheels since then as well as the HFC's as of the 16th. Will be going back to AWE in the spring to see the difference. Will also be going to Atco as soon as they open for the spring to see the REAL difference. Enjoy. =)

GoPro Vids. Not sure why they aren't louder. Sorry about that. They sounded good natively but when edited they lose some volume. I checked to be sure the audio mix was on max. Nevertheless, here they are.

EDIT: I re-uploaded the vids using iMovie on my Mac this time and they are better.

W00T!

John at AWE said if we got a group of 10 they'd do a Saturday for us. Not sure how possible that is but I'm throwing it out there.

Nice! Just looked, Atco opens at the end of Feb.(weather permitting).... I have to suffer until April.... Hasn't gotten over 15 degrees here in the last 4+ days.... I have 5-6 foot snow mounds on each side of my driveway! LOL Ugh....

Me too!

February may be a bit too wintry for my taste. Let's see how it goes.

Understood.... Hey at least you get to drive your car.... I am getting sick of the A4! LOL A warm front of low 30's is coming through so I plan to turn the car around in the garage for more lighting so we can finally get this blower off and to Steig. Sounds like APR may work with me on a tweak to the tune.... I may even make a trip down there to get the custom dyno time.... Concern there is I would have to send the ECU first to get the 93 tune so I can drive the car down there then send it when I get back home as I want to continue to run the 100 tune.... Hopefully, the switching software comes soon and then this would be a moot point.... Either way good time are ahead....

Very possible, you can count me in now. I set up a couple dyno days last year and filling up 7 more spots shoudlnt be too hard, just give me some dates

**DTMOOOO** · 02-10-2011 03:26 PM

I'm interesting in hitting up atco with you guys when it reopens.. Maybe even a dyno if I can get my shit together and order the parts I want and stop being a bitch about spending money lol

Cool. I'll bring the idea back up here soon.

APR trip would be a mission! I'm keeping a close eye on the potential custom tune for you. That's super cool.

As for the program switching, I don't get the impression that we'll have it for April. Feel like the APR guys would be starting to chat it up if that were the case.

**JEmm** · 02-16-2011 07:54 PM

Yea. We know you have the car now... DELIVER!

**voltrons_head** · 02-16-2011 08:11 PM

I can only tell you what a Chevy Malibu runs like. They didn't start the job til the afternoon and weren't finished in time. They gave me a rental car and I have to pick it up tomorrow. How about that? =/

**JEmm** · 02-16-2011 08:19 PM

oh joy.

So how's that Malibu?

Could be worse I suppose. I wasn't upset as I knew it was a possibility. Was trying to have them squeeze me in the day after the cats arrived knowing it was gonna be tight.

Funny tho, I have a long commute and it was actually a pleasant change from the stiff ride of the S. Definitely a 4 cyl.

Hater. I'd rather scoop poop out of a box into a bag every other day at most than walk behind a dog daily picking its poop up.

hahaha that's kinda funny. I would just have been so excited to get it back that I would've been pissed that I couldn't drive it immediately.

**voltrons_head** · 02-17-2011 04:16 PM

Got the car and holy shit it sounds mean. Tons of traffic so I haven't had a chance to really test it out but hot damn!

AWE has a slight drone. Not outside of what I would expect but it does. This has exaggerated it a bit but the overall sound through all around driving is great. I really like it and am very happy how it came out.

I've got another video coming but it's much longer and is taking a while.

As for a power bump, I'd like to say I feel a bump in power but we all know the psychological effect of getting something new. I'll let my times in the spring be the arbiter of the performance difference.
