Sounds good. I can hear the exhaust leak. Was going to mention it but sounds like you already knew about it.

MSG is the food additive that supposedly tricks your body into thinking that the food you are eating is nutritious, even if it is not.

What Dan meant was MSD = P

I had MSD coils as well and can confirm they are junk on anything past a stock boosted engine. You should be fine on your stock NA setup, although the only reason to get them is because they look better than the factory black.

Yes and If you look at the annotations on the video it explains what I did.

Yeah I was going to ask why he said MSG.

Yeah mine were jittery. Update: The hissing noise is coming from a metal tube coming from the exhaust manifold that faces the front towards the radiator.
