Default some new pics (more on pg 2)

Hey everyone, been a while since i've posted up some pics
Here are some that my friend shot while we were at a shop getting my PPE race headers installed.
Just a reference for people, sound wise, they add alot of noise. Makes the sound a bit throatier, i have an fsport exhaust and fsport intake as well






I gotta go back and get the o2 bung welded onto the midpipe because PPE forgot to include it, the CEL is currently on because of this, but no big deal

Thanks for looking!

its a product line from the guys who put on the HellaFlush shows... n dont forget to include the JDMego lic plate frames... although~ imo it is funny to see cars rocking the stickers/lic frames without running aggressive wheel setups I even got accepted/entered HF IV but i'm too shame to run the 'swag' with my mild setup

I don't see how it added a lot of noise. Throatier, yes. Louder, no.

so you have the fatlace/hellaflush/illest stickers as badges for when you have an aggressive set up?

haha, I only put on the hellaflush license plate cus i like the green, car will be sitting flush with an agressive setup soon, just waiting on coils that i ordered in november -___-

It is definately louder, i can hear it from the inside as well, a deeper sound. Its not like a bad louder, its just i can tell, same with my friends, that it became louder after i installed the headers. As for gains, i believe it is more in higher RPMS, and i havent really pushed it after the install yet.

Since so many of you guys requested, I will try to take a video soon. Theres one of a black is on the dyno on the ppe website, but it sounds nothing like it does in real life.

as for smog, i dunno yet, i'll worry about that in 4 years haha
