few questions reguarding ....

DC sports headers .
Lighting
Spacers
etc...

Headers:
they are installed . Anyone else have the issue of the flex pipe being the first thing to scrape the ground ? It hangs so damn low, I've already frayed it Anyone found a way to eliminate that ?

Throttle body spacers and Intake manifold spacers:
With both added in together who here thinks it makes a power gain ? been reading mixed reviews, chime in please . Also just to be sure hood will still close without mods to it right ?

Interior lighting :
I saw someone on the tl side add led strips under the dash above the feet so you get light down there , how would I go about safely getting power for the new leds ? I would like to link them with the dome light or doors so theyre on getting in the car .

Does anyone have a reputable online store ( link to product please) for extended suds for my hubs / wheels ? I already have the open end nuts but I want the stud to go out of there a bit . (no ebay links)


Sorry for all the questions that have possibly been answered before but if anyone has input please post !

TB and IM spacers that stop heat transfer are proven to add HP and torque.

my flex pipe does NOT hit anything

why??

because it sits higher up than the 2 crossmembers on either side.. those always bottom out when i hit a speed bump kinda fast..

first time it hapened i thought i smashed the flex pipe.. but to my surprise i have YET to touch it with anything.... same goes for the rest of the exhaust... cat, piping and cans.. aint hit shyt yet.... knocking on wood

Only piece of my exhaust that ever took a hit was the cat when I had my car slammed.
I guess it depends on what type of obstacle goes under the car is to where the hit takes place.
I've seen some people's j pipe dented. I dont think mine got touched ever.

Interior lighting :
I saw someone on the tl side add led strips under the dash above the feet so you get light down there , how would I go about safely getting power for the new leds ? I would like to link them with the dome light or doors so theyre on getting in the car .
I placed LED strips under the dash on both of my footwells. I tapped into the doors for power. The driver's footwell illuminates when the driver's door opens. I just used the service manual to find the color of the wires on both sides and tapped into them with t-taps under the dash. One thing I remember is that the switch is wired on the grounded wire. So you can use the same positive wire to power the LEDs but need to seperate the negatives to operate the LED strips seperately. I know it's usually the ground that common and the positive that's different, that's why I remember this part sticking out at me.

Mounting the strips took some thinking. The heat melts tape and velcro adhesive. So I ended up using zip ties and on the driver's side added a ruler.
