LOL you know it, cop was like who did that? Why didnt u just put 2 screws through the bumper? Dude was a pain in the a$$. Kept asking me questions, and I had an answer for each scenario, I think that he was surprised. It gave him a chance to run my license. But I got off without a ticket.

About the horn, startled is an understatement, that thing is loud and I love it. Thanks.

Tom thanks I did that last year thats why they look like this now. I have a jdm set of lights at home that I've started a retro on but havent finished due to family issues as you know. But hopefully will finish it within the next week or 2.

So havent really updated this thread in a long time just been doing things behind the scenes. Did my exhaust in august. 2.25 inch cutout. Borla Mufflers that were intended for a Shelby Series One were fit to the car, got them for a deal I couldnt pass up and they were brand new.

Here are some pics I took with my phone as well, as a sound clip of the exhaust at idle, I gotta take some clips with the cutout open it is insane many of the locals can attest to that. It sounds like a Mustang with straight pipes lol. Thanks to BigTy for the cutout!!

Not from the exhaust. The cutout is after the cats coming off the headers. The piping is all stock. Removed third muffler, put a y pipe. One port for the cutout the other for the mufflers. Resonators were left in place.

I cant complain, I love it much better than the coils I had. The only problem are potholes so I tend to drive a little slower on streets that I dont know. But its a matter of driving defensively and offensively. The car drives well not too harsh considering my stretch and still corners well enough. Once I change up to a hybrid setup of coils and bags I think I'll be happier.
