Default VAP High Flow Cats Unboxing, Some Install, Plus Before & After Sound

I never did post these videos on here for some reason, but for anyone interested in the sound differences you can just simply fast forward through the video and the sound is more towards the end of the video. If you would like to see some of while the car is taken apart for the actual install feel free to watch the video through.

This video is BEFORE the VAP High Flo Cats Installed to show the sound difference:

Well, thank you. I love the way the car sounds with this setup!

I'm even more impressed that you pulled off an 11.30 quarter in a stock configuration. A 3.13 zero to sixty with a one foot rollout is also commendable. Respect!

Sounds more raspy to me, would that be a fair summary?

Those times are not just getting in the car, putting it in drive and mashing the gas...it takes precise shifts and such to make this car go quicker.

Under hard press of the gas yes and under normal driving it has more tone to it without the raspiness sound. You can tell it is more aggressive just normally driving around, but when you go WOT you start hearing more of the raspiness sound. Of course when it is in normal mode it is very conservitive still if you want it to be.

Here is a video at the race track of when it was bone stock down to the air filters...it was on the 2nd hit where it did 11.30 as the first was 11.32:

I watched the video a few days ago and as a previously obsessed drag racer during my younger 5.0 6MT Mustang days I totally understand the finesse and trial and error required to shave a tenth or two off.

Ahh, okay. Ya, this car is finicky to get the best times out of it but once you get the feel for it the car isn't too bad and it is very consistent!
