^ I will I want to play around with it first and make sure its all good before everyone starts to follow and do the same or similar. Not sure but this car seems to be very sensitive to mods from what I have read. Your tips look NICE!! That is one thing I may change if I do a new bumper or lip in the rear.

it will probably add a wopping 2-3 hp. Mosts systems for ths car ( custom or mass produced are axle back systems). even a cat back system on this car may add 5-6 hp. not a very good mod for power. Its more like putting cards in our bicycle spokes as kids. Its more for the noise

haha (I had to laugh at your response)...this is why you have the Tanabe in you signature right I guess I got the full deck on my car then and you got 1/4 of it

I have a full custom, not Axle back like yours and 2 pipes not one all the way back. I will put $$ I am pushing more power then your axle back and you probably paid more for your Axle back then I did for my full set up if not close

Thanks...

I used Borla and the pipes are 2.25 inch if I recall. Its a TIGHT fit. I wanted larger but there is no room for 2 pipes.

I will see if I can get a local to take some video clips. Sound is perfect. Not crazy loud but a nice aggressive sport tone like a V8

In all honesty, the difference is probably marginal.
