Reading my 745t's owner's manual last night I noticed the the HP peak is at around 5,300rpm. I hadn't run it up over about 3,800-4,000 in the two weeks I've had it so on the way home at 1am I had some fun. Upshifting at about 5,500 from 2nd through 4th was surprising. What a great little motor and it makes all the right sounds.

The previous owner had just replaced the exhaust from the cat back and eliminated the first muffler. I don't know what brand or type the remaining muffler is but it does have a subdued but very nice tone. I'll have to crawl under and see what it is. They replaced the S tailpipe with a new one so it still looks stock. Now if only I could find the rear trim panel that goes under the bumper.
