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!
Installed a DE grill. Looks awesome!
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.

After:
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!

$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.
It was made for the 3g eclipse I4, I had to extend the pipe in 2 spots (one at the cat and one at the muffler).

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?
definitely get a cat-back! They are premade with the correct bends (mine was) and will be easy to add a fiberglass glasspack. The old exhaust will be all rusted up anyway and provides no benefit in keeping the same size lol.

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.

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.

Only sonata f5m42 swapped. N/A build in motion.
Afraid of that lol... I'll do the headers closer to springtime. I love the power and sound it has right now.
