    Cool

    I had mine (bought from Tone) installed around 36K miles and now have 56K miles with no issues. I hauled a cargo trailer last week with a 1,000 lb. Cub Cadet Tractor and 200 lb. Snowblower implement that I had sold in order to purchase new equipment and the VX definitately felt the weight as far as the braking system was concerned but yanked that trailer & load without noticable effort up hills. I didn't feel the penalty on mileage due to towing was bad either. I expected to use a half a tank of fuel and only used like a tick over quarter tank. Like Ldub...I too have seen 22mpg on interstate going to Vermont from PA and 23mpg going home. Last four fill-ups of all-around type driving yielded an average of 19 mpg.

    Well..I'm thinkin' going full blast with the Alpine unit. But I'm just makin' sure that I can justify 3k for it.

    You're gonna love it! This is the way this PUV should have come from the factory!

    Nope - they are built to order but end of the month may be possible. I'll send an email tonite and get back with you.

    has anyone done a before and after on a dymo with the alpine? Is most of the gain low-end?

    I had no idea how sexy the power in these things was until I got transio's baby. The morgan tec and dual exhaust give a nice pur and great acceleration...and I want more . Is the 3k installed or just the alpine unit?
