I talked with a guy up at Brenspeeds dyno day that had the Thumpers installed by Dave a couple of week earlier in his Roush. He fired the car for me and other guy and they truely sound awesome. However he did not get the advertised 25 hp from them. His gain was only 10 hp. But they really sounded sweet. He also had a manual and said that he need to downshift earlier when at low speed because the car got herky-jerky if he didn't keep the rpm up. He said the problem was worse in the auto's. If you are really considering them you may want to talk to Dave about them to get the good and bad about them.

Hey Guys,
The **** poor economy is driving prices down on the HID kits. 4 weeks ago I paid $120 bucks for the H10 foglights. They are now down to $100 bucks. Some kits are up to 40% off. Check it out!!

That's almost too good a deal to pass up. Does the high beams work as intended? Or is this just a single beam setup? H13 kit for our headlights, right? Seriously considering it.

Hey Justin,
You are correct that the headlights are H13. And yes the Hi/lo feature on the headlights is a single beam but when you hit the brights a magnet in the bulb lifts the filament and projects in up higher so you can see down the road farther. The real advantage is that they put out about 3 times the lumens as the stock halogens. Plus the 6K Hids make the white lines on the road and street signs kind of glow in the dark. And for the record I have not been having any issues with others flashing me even when I am running the fogs with the headlights.

Beats me. Could be about the same. I just ordered another 6K set to replace the Roush foglights. The reason I like the 6K sets are because they are about the color of daylight. The way it works is the 5K sets have more lumens but the 6 and 8k sets project their light better. When Tom and I looked at our lights together on dyno day it was hard to tell them apart. The 6K sets are definitely blue looking also.

STD regarding the 8k kits, I like the color on the road but I wish the lights themselves were a little less blue. I mean when you're outside the car looking at the lights, I wish they were a little less blue.
