        It’s not a very good clip but here’s some startup and revs. And it will pop loud on upshifts with enough throttle before the clutch.

                LMAO! Almost immediately. I’m just waiting on my local tuner to get some new hardware sorted and get to work on the tune.

                    Dang. I figured. I was going to try to install my catted downpipe soon. I have a couple of different style O2 spacers, but from what I have been reading they probably won't help.

                    Does it seem to be running fine? Any adverse change to mpgs?

                        Its running fantastic. Haven't dynod it since the downpipe, and we did initially lose power after the exhaust. But overall it just feels and sounds better, like best it’s ever been. I’m pretty sure it’s more efficient. It would be easier to tell if I could keep my foot out of it but that sound under load at like 4700ish. It sounds more like a sorted sports car than the Abarth.
                        what it seems like is that when I do ease up on it, it’s easier to get good mpgs. My long term average mpgs in the display were always 25.x now it’s steadily 26.3 even though I flogg it a lot.
