    AH, I loves my PV1. Didnt drive her at all this weekend cause I had to work (ya ya, the Rex gets better mileage.... you do the math). But, last night when I got home, I moved the VX back into the driveway (building desk furniture in the garage so she has to brave the sun for a while). Ah, I missed that PV1 rumble all week long. I love to start her up with the door open just to hear that initial growl. A few taps on the gas just to get my fix and pulled her up and shut her off. The smile left my face. The Borla Hush on my Rex simply does not even come close, heh.

    PV1 FTW!

    im not sure if this is the pv1 or pv2.... PV is etched on it 2.5" in and out w/ a flow arrow on it.. there were two powervault proven performance stickers in the box with it.. looks like it originally shipped from CA but couldnt find a date.. James said he wasnt sure which, originally thought it was the PV1.. then second guessed and thought maybe PV2

    This is a powervault 2 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=010

    I won it but the reserve wasn't met and never got a second chance

    Hope it comes back

    got the PV installed today.. I'm pretty happy with the sound.. I am hoping the volume goes down a bit over time which i've been told it will (muffler is brand spanking new)

    Wow, that is loud. I've had my PV1 catback for 100K miles, and it was never that loud. The PV1 catback came with a resonator installed in the tip, which made it raspy revving in neutral, but made it whistle under accelleration. We called it the "wheezinator", and most everybody pulled them out immediately. You heard my PV1 during our Shenandoah outing, and it wasn't too loud. At least nobody said anything about it...
