When I first got my car it felt insanely powerful, especially since i was coming from a '99 Ranger auto with an I4. Now, however, I have grown used to it and it feels sluggish.

So I caved in and bought a grand worth of parts from Brenspeed. I bought the JLT II w/ SCT X2 Tuner combo, SLP Loudmouth, and Pypes Offroad H-Pipe. I ordered it 5 minutes ago and im already tired of waiting.

And soon to follow......

-gears
-pullies
-lower control arms
-electic water pump
-short throw shifter
-appearance mods
-etc. ..........

Oh sorry, that's my list. Watch out, its contagious once you start. Good luck and have fun. One piece of serious advice: have your X2 tuned by a reputable tuner. I can personally recommend Bamachips or Brenspeed.

Cant wait to hear your review of the h pipe, I saw that video that was post ande it sounded great.Yoiu will like the SLP's, I do. Sounds like you spent that grand wisely . I will be doing a hood, CAI, and most probably SCT tuner and tune from Doug at Bamachips at the end of winter

You bought yourself a whole lot of Christmas cheer. Now if all the single GT owners stayed home New Years Eve they could purchase a lot more parts. This has to be the most expensive date of the year. Old Fart like me could not even get a date with a new $100 bill so think of all the parts I could purchase.

That's what income tax returns are for. That and nitrous controllers.

You're just imagining your first toke off the mod crack pipe and you're already an addict! It always starts like this.

Sounds like you'll have fun soon.

The SLP's won't ship until the 4th, they're backordered I guess. My bro ordered mine for me and he just told me that. So be ready to wait even longer.

Yea, Brent called me this morning and told me about that, so he only charged me for the intake and midpipe until he gets in touch with them. He called for the specs on my car, to warn me that the h-pipe and loudmouths would be insanely loud, and see if i still wanted it. I told him to go ahead and send it, if I don't like it, i'll sell it. My items should arrive Tuesday. Brenspeed is quick.

So...in the event that I don't want my car that loud...who would be interested in the Pypes Offroad H-pipe?

Brenspeed is quick. I would purchase your H pipe if you don't want it.

PM me if you get serious about it (no offense meant).
