It looks like you're getting serious with your TL!

The Y-pipe looks like quality craftmenship.

...i was just down in Orlando for about 5 days...we could have met up.

I love the stop brakes. Are they new? Where did you buy it from? How much did it cost?.. On the rear did you just change the rotor only?
I plan to upgrade my brakes sometime later this year...
hehe

next time you come down we will meet i promise, however i would like to clarify that this is not my car. i simply have the opportunity buy products based on my bosses taste and my product knowledge. . ohh!! and his money

i own a stock 99 civic hatch back with a lsv sitting in my garage ready to be installed.

thank you, i prefer the blank rotors but the slotted looks okay. the BBK was purchased new through titan motorsports to the tune of 1.8k includes the rear "oem" replacement setup [pads, lines rotor]


looks good, jw why you went witht the shortram intake instead of the cold air?
thank you, i went with the short ran style because of 2 things.

1. it cost a total of $40.
2. in florida it rains alot, and the dealer it goes for check ups frowns upon the CAIs [ the water reasoning] so we can return to stock in 3 min

also
i had gone to Venezuela and another "friend" talked him into buying the K&N and eibach springs to the tune of 500 big ones. they were returned as soon as i got back and i place the order for the tein sus.... with the edfc of coarse[new gen]

is it a custom job? short tube with generic KN filter? if so? what diameter filter? pic not clear to tell.
yes, i made it my self. wile at auto zone, i saw a small generic cone filter and a pkg for a pipe adapter kit[which included the small pipe and nothing else], i took the filter to the car for fitment before purchase and to my amazement it did fit with out removing the battery cover.

I'm interested in the y pipe too, I just got HKS mufflers and I'm going with a custom pipping and the y pipe is my biggest concern. I don't want to end up with a crappy job and that y pipe looks super clean. Let me know how can I get it, Thanks.

yes 2.5" "crushed" piping [very minimal]

i deleted the 3rd cat and made the exhaust with 4 magmaflow mufflers[my boss hates the exhaust noise]

2 round style mufflers and 2 oval...
it has a small droan from 1.1-2.8k, so he wants to install a 3rd round stylre muffler if the SC doesnt silence it a little.

to me the car sounds great and an addition of a muffler will reduce HP. but he wants what he wants

I followed your example for the cone filter. I got a slightly longer one. Awesome!
