Looks good, I always like that lip more than the mugen lip. Finless grille, paint, drop, wheels, and youre good! ;)
If you go for the 8Gb bumper, I would cut out the nose off and put a 8Ga grille in its place. Would look tits!

Then, the cat-back and headers came in. Figured I'd throw on the cat-back today =)
- 3" piping all the way back. Restricted to 2.5in at the muffler.

I was doing some sound test with different mufflers. Decided to use a magnaflow muffler in combination with the n1 setup. Sounds like a suby!

I likey the exhaust...how much did that run you?
$250 for headers and cat-back. Just bought it off ebay because I didn't feel like making my own bends again lol. Ebay member is like D5 something (D5concepts?) But just for your fyi.Quote:

OOOOOOh, I see. I was aiming for freeing up some HP with my setup, but mainly going for a nice tone, and keeping interior drone to a minimum. I planned on just using an 18" glasspack, and a Magnaflow muffler in place of the stock one, and keeping the stock 2.25" pipping. Worth it? Or better off with a complete catback?Quote:

I could see increasing in size...but 2.25" is a decent size for an N/A four cylinder...and considering all I have is a CAI on my 8G...and that's all that will be done, would it really make that big of a difference without a tune?
no, probably just enough difference to be noticeable. But if you're messing with the exhaust, might as well do the whole thing instead of just a piece. Idk really up to you though, the cat-back is so inexpensive though.
Well, depending on the price of the Magnaflow muffler, and labor from the Mieneke I know...maybe a cat-back will happen.
Thing is, interior drone is a deal breaker. Let me know how loud it is from the inside.
It's pretty loud in the inside lol. Not real bad, but enough...
My brothers gaming, I'll upload the video when he's done. Sounds awesome.

k, got the video up
Same seller i got my exhaust from...sounds good but IMO 3" is overkill if your staying N/A
3" exhaust??? Are you planning for turbo or staying NA?
Its his daily so im guessing na
Doesn't matter, it restricts back down to 2.5 at the muffler.Quote:

The header is going to take away your deep tone and depending if you have a nice cat and resonator will determine how raspy it sounds. Mines needs some work after i get a better seal at the header/ cat itll probably sound better like it did before plus with a 72 TB.
Afraid of that lol... I'll do the headers closer to springtime. I love the power and sound it has right now.
Swap for the Outlander IM with header, CAI, & Exhaust, sounds tits! So aggressive!Quote:

I've always wanted those headlights when I had my usdm front, looks good!
Keith, throw on a new style jdm bumper on that since the orange one has the old style and drive both cars to MOD/car shows, etc.
Your welcome for the idea lol
lol, I always thought it was maybe too ricey. But I like for USDM replacements.Quote:

I thought about it obviously, but I'm expecting to hit snow banks or other crap winter throws at me. No need to ruin JDM goodies.
yea, but some people can pull it off, like galant1983Quote:

Thanks guys.
Found a 5spd in the yard for this car. Yes or no?
your choice. I personally would keep it auto if its just a daily/commuter/hauls car parts.
my concern is the auto has 267k miles on it. lol
yikes. Maybe the manual isnt that bad looking now lol
haha! I wouldn't of brought it up if I didn't want to do it. Will be my 4th manual swap lol.
you should buy galants, swap 5 speeds in them and sell em.
Do the 5spd
Do it .
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" **Starsky & Hutch** LOL
