Yep, low mileage 6 speeds sell for a premium.

Growing up, guy down the street from me had a silver WS6 that he put exhaust on. He did not obey the speed limit, but I knew when he was coming home or leaving. Wanted one then, still want one now. They fetch a premium in good shape though.

I keep seeing a black Elantra N around here. Never at full steam, but cool car. Definitely a 6 speed. But yours looks better with that color/badge modification/wheels.

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
Well I just found out those N Performance CF tips aren't available separately, it's apart of the N Performance axle-back and it's $1500...for an axle-back and I don't think that includes shipping🫣 Now you and I both know an axle-back isn't going to make power alone, especially since this N has a great, tuned exhaust already, even if the N Performance axle-back was 3" piping, which it isn't.
Damn I wanted those tips

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
So while on the way home from watching my buddy install his new Stillen cat-back exhaust on HIS EN I got to do a slow roll acceleration, spun the tires but didn't hop too bad, so now I've gotta try launch control to see what's what
Anywho, my car has what I guess you'd call an "on-board dyno". Once you put your foot in it you can check everything from power, torque, boost, throttle, speed, oil temp, engine temp and these are graphs over time. So what saw were the following, kinda weird:
-Power...322 PS
-Boost...22 psi
-Torque...289 (###)
Not sure what to make of the Torque reading, did the tires spinning confuse it

Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!
Little update today, finally used launch control and recorded the 0-60 times with the Stage 1 mods.
So we got to a very safe spot to do this and when I say we it was my daughter and I, she calls it "Speed Boost". Temps were 79 degrees and set the launch control for 2800 RPMS and let it rip! It spun all the way through 1st and wheel hopped into 2nd, not too violent so I'm happy with the Powerflex bushes! I tried at 3000 RPM and FORGET ABOUT IT, LOL
So the results were the following, 5.8 to 5.5 but spinning hard, so yeah the narrower KN tires aren't cutting it, not to mention the 5% additional aspect ratio. I'm not too concerned but I'd like to get it under 5 seconds, many cars have done it already, my buddy Marsins EN did a 4.76 but that was at the drag strip...but stock except for the Powerflex trio of bushes.
I'll say this too, once the hop stopped into the next gear I could feel the pull through the steering wheel, car is pulling HARD
***EDIT***
My previous best was 5.8 stock, now it's 5.5 0-60 mph

Hindsight's 20/20, but it woulda been nice to have done some timed 30-80 pulls before and after tuning as it's a real world stat you probably do quite frequently. (Actually, I've driven in Chicago, 30-95 would probably be more like it. ).
Saying that out loud, when the time comes for software for my new shooter I'll have to make sure to do that to have more than just a butt-dyno comparison!
