I only drove 5 minutes or so. I do like it!
It's only loud if you're asking for a lot of boost then dump...... Normal (easy) driving it isn't really audible at least in the cab. I'm not worried about different clamps. I probably didn't even need the zip ties. The caps are on the intake tubes....hoses on blow off valves reused the squeeze clamps that were on them already

I would be careful having your bov  hoses that close to the wheels   
The last thing you want is something getting thrown into the bov  making it not close properly.
Or worse, something gets into your intake ductwork and damages your turbos.

Intakes are capped....maybe I should move the hose ends away from the wheel. Thanks for the tip!

Someone recommended this...thots?


SHO-Time

Installed my LMS V8 tune this morning. I ran my brother-in-law who owns a 14 SHO PP with the same tune. He was one full car length ahead of me the entire time. That pretty much showed the difference between the PP and non-PP gearing.

Don't fret... Do the 3BAR thing on the car and the v8 tune.... It gave me a sub 4 sec 0-60!.... That was. Half second improvement over just v8.... Then race again!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Is the only option ordering from DRIVEBRIGHT.COM?  Looks like $80 for a pair, any other options? Did you unplug the battery to install them?  The DIY video tells you to do that but I think they are just being cautious?

Just saw that.... the $80 is looking good.  They also give you license plate bulbs, so would have saved $16 if I didn't buy my plate LEDs.  Doh.

See if Dan has some DRLs for the SHO also.  The ones for the Edge are maddeningly bright :)

I used Daylight Brightliites for the puddles... 800 lumens!... Cost a bit more, but they refund a like $20/side for your originals.  No battery disconnect... Pop out, unplug OEM, plug in new, pop new in place... 3-4 minutes... No problems for 8k miles/6-7 months and great customer service.  Plus they give you taillight bulbs free with the puddle purchase.  So the cost was made up in saving my time and frustration.
