Default mina exhaust power loss

anyone installed a mina exhaust on a 3.0 v6 and experienced power loss the exhaust note sounds great but i would rather have performance over the sound the car doesnt shift as quickly into gear as before. feels like not enough backpressure air going through too guickly. i will be taking them out tomorrow if anyone interested in them in the new york new jersey area

I hear repeatedly to do a hard reset and wait several hundred miles...

jaguar20, an exhaust mod on a n/a 3.0 V6 will present a loss of backpressure.

Or just email Chris @ Mina and tell him whats gonig on.. he will probably let you return the exhaust...he is usuallye xtremely responsivee and accommodating.....at least in my experience

I dealt this Chris a Mina too. I felt he was polite and very informative when I purchased and installed my Mina exhaust on my 2005 STR in the summer of 2010.

How did things turn out? Did Chris allow the return or suggest a way to make the Mina exhaust system work well on you 3.0.
