only cause you slam on the gas everytime you drive it

and these bolt-on's (cai, cats, catback) seem to make your brakes wear down ever faster.... hmmm... i wonder why

hey acura911. i finally put my 5900SST in.. what a PAIN IN THE A$$. I could not get the window roll up/down to work becuse you have to PULSE the signal (2 times) and unless you get the 529/530t modules it can be done properly....

trunk release was damn easy though.
