Sorry ya'll can't make it. I'm not sure if I'll be welcome at kooks since I'm gonna go with ARH headers. Where is the open house?

It's at Kooks headquarters in Stateville, NC. I don't think they'd care if you have ARH headers.

Sure we can meet. Unless your track times have improved I believe I'd edge you out in a race. Speak of races, how'd you do in Texas?

I'm sure you could more than edge me out cause all I have so for is the Vararam and trans cooler. I don't have the headers yet, I'm just planning for August. In fact I'd like to take a ride in yours to see how your exhaust set up sounds on the inside. Maybe I should go with the Kooks, I'll have to hear how it sounds.

Texas was great! A total of 280 miles at 135mph. Speed limiter is set at 138mph. The G8 handles as good or possibly even better than my 02 SS. What a great car!

Sure thing, you can listen all you'd like. The only annoying thing is the DOD when it goes back to 8 cylinder mode.

Sounds like you had a blast in Texas! Count me as officially jealious.

When I got there I was the only G8 (around 10:15AM). Then two others G8s showed up, a black one and an MGM one. I don't know if the black one was Kevin or not, but I met the owner of the MGM G8. His name was Ed. He told me on the other board that he watch a G8 dyno and from the sounds of it, it must have been yours.

Yeah, I was there kinda late. It was just before two and very hot.......Nice drive. Took back roads most of the way and got 23 mpg including the dyno pull and a little messing around on the side. Sorry I missed the rest of the G8 guys.....
