Hmmm, well do you really NEED the tubular mani?? I assume this is still a fully streetable car. So I would say that if the sound still bothers you after the stroker goes in, then swap over to a ported 2g mani, EVOIII mani, or something like the SBR or Speed Factor manis. I'd bet that you'll still have plenty of power potential to reach your goals.
