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.

Well you have the monies for an actual exhaust and downpipe unlike the rest of us
Most people think my car is a V6 now. Much deeper sound.

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.
