Not 1 hiccup & still running down 392's & SS's with EASE. To this very day people who are "car enthusiasts" ALWAYS ask, "What did you do to your 350!?"

@@qylerecallmeq675 The mufflers on the Catback are surprisingly restrictive. It becomes quite loud without mufflers, but actually still bearable in my opinion. Only problem I have with drone, is going uphill in 8th gear, I usually just kick it down a gear or two and it eliminates the drone since it sits at 2.5-3k rpm. Depends how much drone you can handle.

Just subbed, I can't believe how many parallels there are between your story and mine. I got mine for $18,600 NZD albeit that it had 185,000km when I bought it in February this year. I bought mine from Nelson and drove it back to Wellington. I had the same dilemma about whether to get an ISF or something german, ultimately I value reliability and the peace of mind knowing that ISF's are basically bulletproof. There aren't many performance cars out there with 420hp that can easily go over 500,000km with basic maintenance. (Also used to live in Nelson for about 20 years so recognise all these roads haha)
