Lol, he's definitely NOT serious.

But on a serious note, use dish soap if you need to remove any wax/sealants from your car (i.e., prior to polish/compound). It's quite effective and is really cheap!

dish soap will strip the car of all wax and sealant.

i use dawn once a year to strip mine, then I use clay, any needed polishing, then sealant.
last is your choice of wax.

if youi just want to wash it without stripping it, then DO NOT USE DISH SOAP.

buy a car wash that doesnt strip....like meguiars.

I washed my old car with dish soap for years. My dad still does(I'm pretty sure). It looked fine throughout the years.

Don't get a CAI. Just remove your resonator. Same power/sound for free.

Since the oem filter is up high you can snake a pipe any way you want through the engine bay.

i had the ct. bought it used and it was the one with the twisted cover.

but a trip to hardware store for some 1" wide foam insulation fixed any flexing issues. I also bought some nice black hardware during same trip.

i also used a v6 fog vent to get more air heading towards the cte tube.

the thing is well built and looks oem.
