Agreed I got a Borla Header that helped a bit but I have a Manual. 5th gear is NEVER used anymore unless I am going downhill with the wind pushing me on my 35's :D
I have some Home Video of a 35 breakage up Providence Canyon if ya wanna see what happens. ;) Not a good sound I tell ya. :D I think it is a fellow RME'er too not sure who though. Blacksheep was there I remember.
