Wow nice job on the system install! Wish I had the Nav system! I'm thinking about installing my Eclipse 5444 deck. Not sure yet though. I kinda like the in dash changer.

The guy that did the install was great. It took less than three hours and is very clean.

It is a little louder than I expected but oddly gets quieter at freeway speeds.

Here is a close up:

The magnaflows were installed along with custom pipes from the cat back right? Anyway they look great and nice work on the car as a whole. You don't fuck around.
I would like to hear a sound clip if possible? I also have the p2r intake and would like to hear how it sounds with those muffs.
Does the exhaust drown out the whistle that the intake makes?
Have you considered 03 tails and lamps? Or a debadge? Would look nice imo.
Keep up the modding dude.

I'll get a video up as soon as I can. The sound is deep and a bit annoying below 2k, but between 2.5 & 3 gets quieter. It's 100+ here all the time so except for when I remote start the car I don't hear the cai noise.

The shop ran 2.25 aluminum pipes from the cat back with mandrel bends & welded it up so it fits perfectly. Took about 2.5 hours.

I just bought new 01/2 headlights, I think the silver on top goes with SSM. I agree 03 tails are better but they are too expensive to get just to get them.

The partial debadge came from the car wash about a month ago (the 3.2CL badge broke), the CL part was hanging down so I took the 3.2 off.

Thanks.

Nice update.

Love the look of brand new rotors.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is your front emblem blue?

It does look blue in that picture but it isn't.

The pedal feel is much improved. The rear disks were way below minimum. The fronts were new. All of the old pads had 85+% left.

Thanks

01 Headlights look the best on the SSM.

The head lights look cheap on other colors...IMO.

Did you use your fog light/road lamp?
