What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Ok, BigMac don't rub it in.  We northern people have to wait little longer for nice warm weather, HAHA.  Just installed Dynomax axle back mufflers.  Like the sound, factory one too quiet for me.  Time to stop playing with the car and back to mudding and sanding drywall.
 
I just went down to our local exhaust shop, and asked how much to delete the 3rd cat, and surprisingly he said lets put it on the ramps and see. 100$ Later and 30 minutes, and its done. Hard to tell if there is any gain because i installed Unleashed tuning, and X4 all at same time.

Nice call.  I got mine done for 60.  How does she sound now?
 
I just got it done and have only got on it maybe twice since then and i installed the Unleashed tune this morning so its hard to tell where it is coming from. (The tune, or cat delete) Regardless, i love the sound and how much faster is revs now
 
Ordered my x-pipe, tips, and mufflers today. As well as the carpet to put over some mdf that will be my tank/pump mount in my trunk. Can't wait for some track days ;)

Well the tune is making most of the power increase.  Probably 98%.  LOL

I figure it is a 5-10% total increase in actual dba tops.  Actually sounds more like a v8 at idle IMO.  Can you hear the turbo's on cold start up yet?  :)
 
15% fronts / brow to match factory. Pics taken after first polish & wax.

Am I the only one that thinks these rims look like HotWheels - wheels? lol
 
Looks great JimiJak!  Now that you mention it, they do look like HotWheels wheels. 
 
On another note... learned something about sync in my '13 SHO... At least for the iPhone 5, if you hit "Do Not Disturb" on the touch screen it places the phone in that mode until you go into the settings on the phone itself and tmanually take it out of that mode... missed a bunch of calls.
:homer:
