So you are saying your setup is not loud enough? If you want some thing that sound like the Cadi then my Magnaflow will do just that lol. If you want to trade your with my Magnaflow, I don't really mind

You have two options if you want the muffler louder. First, remove the stock resonator or second get an aftermarket resonator. I'm currently running stock muffler with an aftermarket resonator and it sounds really good! A little deeper than the stock muffler and resonator combination.

He is using the Summit Racing chamber muffler
VipRL, are you planning to get the TSX or TL Function and Form? I don't if it matter but I've heard with the TL coilover you don't have to use a spacer.

17s are nice. i had oem nissan altima wheels on mine before these. 18s look alot better on the car to me now that i have 18s lol. cant wait to get it lowered. im going to have to work on the exhaust once i lower it. i think its going to scrape pretty bad if i dont guess i will see what i can do after i lower the car lol

sadly i had to get rid of my tsw wheels . when i got them they were repaired which the repair was really good had it looked at from a shop that does repairs and they said all good. well the spot cracked .. the dude i traded with made me a deal if it cracked within a month we would trade back so. we traded back tonight so he can have his cracked wheel back. but he also plasti dipped my old wheel black actually doesnt look that bad.
