I honestly don't notice much HP gains....only because I have never stomped on it....the sound alone was worth the money. As far as the interior....black is just too damn hot for Vegas....besides, I REALLY like the two -tone.

 

it IS that difficult. you'll need a vice grip and a punch

 

no problem... got those in the garage

 

NIce want to see it when done. . .

 

This was the absolute hardest thing I've done yet. I TOTALLY had to destroy my old pedal to get the damn pin out. It's done and I never want to talk about it again.

I would have GLADLY paid $100 for someone else to do it. SUCKED.

 

Fogs on the other hand took 5 minutes.

 

May I ask for the seller name on ebay and how long did you have to wait?

 

I would really recommend going through one of the vendors on the forums. There is no warranty on ebay purchased items, and since those guys are not direct, it's a crapshoot at best whether you actually get the system within a reasonable time frame. ~no one~ has these in stock-- sold out until September, and everything coming in August is spoken for.

PM Tanabe USA for recommendation

 

Don't even try eBay now. All the ones you see now doesn't have them in stock, yet...they list they do.

Exhaust looks great, plus the pedals and fogs! I love this exhaust, everytime I see a 2IS next to me, I punch it and show them my IS has this nice exhaust tone. hahaha I'm such a a**munch.

The gas pedal is the absolute worse install I ever did. It was so hard to do. I also widened the pin, good thing I was able to save it.

Darren, Should have called me. I would have loved to sit and watch. Did you save my number now? Or must I call you at 3AM again while I'm drunk?

 

You are absolutely right!

this is the email i got from ebay seller.

"thanks for the payment, however this item is currently on backordering, we can either issue a full refund or we can put you in our backorder list, and will ship it out once we got it from tanabe USA"

 

And the worst thing is, I actually emailed them and asked them if they have it in stock and they said YES!

ARGH!

 

Yeah, I wouldn't put a lot of trust in those guys. Most ebay guys (though there are some exceptions) will say anything to get a sale. If I buy something from ebay, it's usually from end user to end user and used/rare...when I see a big list of parts with all of the same picture and descriptions....aiya....

Most of the ebay guys put a low buy it now price but have ridiculous shipping prices so they can work around the paypal surcharge, which I find kind of sneaky-- makes me question their ethics on how they handle other parts of their business.

 

lol Mike....aiya.

Yeah, I tried ALL the eBay stores, that is LOCAL to me for pick up. I found their numbers and called them, and they all told me backorder. I'm like

Thankfully, my buddy called me and secured me one.

 

hahah it only took me 30 mins to get that pin out... no biggie really. i saved your number... but i got a call at friggin 4am on saturday morning from a private number!!!!!! that BETTER not have been you!

 

HAHAHA, ok I swear that one is not me. I joke around, but I dont do that.....
