I'm guessing the suspension warranty would be void, but then again, I don't think they'll blacklist your car.

For the exhaust, as for the axle back, it would void the stock muffler warranty (obviously) but I don't see the problem swapping back to stock as it is plug and play.

Thanks for clearing it up for me. I came from a BMW and the dealer tried to screw me every time when I bring the car in for repairs under warranty because of some unrelated mods.

Updated my HID bulbs to the 6K Morimoto XB35 bulbs. Here is a pic.

please tell me you have a video of the exhaust ?

ultran00b8

Thank You! Yes, I got hit with taxes at the border, but that's a fact of life in Canada. With the straight piped res and cat delete, it was definitely loud. A bit too loud IMO.

Springs aren't on because they haven't arrived yet (backordered second set from RSR Japan) and the fact that I want to see how the stock suspension does after the shock replacement.

Also, regarding the Joe Z with stock cats, I will never know as I took out the stock system and I'm in the process of making a full custom system that leads to the Joe Z axle back.

Sadly no, I've been too lazy and busy recently to take fly-by videos. I really want to make some but just never got around to doing it.

Regarding the system:

Personally I got resonators added in today (18" GT Speed T304 Stainless Steel Custom resonators- in house brand at GT Custom Exhaust Pickering) because the system with straight pipes was way too loud and produced too much drone. The two resonators cut approximately 80% of the drone in cabin and decreased the exhaust loudness by around 15%. Cost me $350. I'm still thinking of whether I should add in a custom X-pipe in order to balance the exhaust and cut the last remaining drone that can be eliminated. But it is $200 for the X pipe and I'm afraid it will do next to nothing. Oh well... The law of diminishing returns.

Got some resonators added in to reduce the in cabin drone.


Here you go.
