Thanks man. And I know it really needs something up front. I haven't found a clean enough lip for sale yet, but if one pops up I will definitely jump on it. I was contemplating looking for a Bayson replica but I really would like to stick w/ OEM.

Why the i-vtec sticker

Why the i-vtec sticker

A friend had it laying around and didn't want it so I put it on my car for the hell of it to see how it looked and it took me about a day to realize i hated it. So don't worry its gone lol.

car looks pretty nice, my only suggestion is to clean up the ride thread, dont think people will look at the car and wonder if the cv axle was changed or if you have winter steelies, just a thought.
still a better thread than mine though

Haha fair enough, thanks for the suggestion, I just thought I'd be as detailed as possible as far as what I have for the car. Maybe I'll change it up a little bit

Very good start bro!!!

Very clean whip! Digging your progress and glad to see you posted up a ride thread Quick question, did you notice any difference, whether it be gain or loss, in power and torque when you did the dual exhaust? I'm considering this route, but not sure about the distribution of power and wondering if it may help quiet my exhaust

Thanks man, and for the exhaust, as far as power goes there's nothing to crazy noticeable with the dual because its pretty slow either way, but it definitely feels like its got a bit more torque in 1st and 2nd compared to stock, and it has a pretty nice purr once it hits about 3200rpm. Not at all rice sounding though. Anytime its under 3000rpm though the exhaust pretty much sounds stock.

I'm pretty sure some people say its bad for your exhaust to go dual on a 4 banger because there is more back pressure or something along those lines but it's always been pretty reliable for me. I personally just really like how it looks compared to one single muffler.
