I think I got it bro, thanks for the info. yea coils in 2 maybe 3 weeks. my birthday is the 14th so I'm expecting to blow some of my suspension money lol




going to try and figure out how to post videos after work tonight so check in around 10 to hear how my stage 4 exhaust sounds. thanks guys

 

Just copy the youtube address and paste it here or you can click share under the video and copy that link.

 

ok here are my vids, sorry for the quality but they were taken on an iPhone so hopefully ur expectations arnt too high lol. sorry guys but no matter what I do I keep getting a duplicate of the two vidoes when I post but oh well

the first video is a start, rev, and drive by here:
the second video is of an in car drive with windows down so sorry for the wind but u will get the idea

 

if anyone knows how to fix this duplicate video glitch please let me know. I only posted one link for each vid so I'm stumped

 

Damn man that sounds really good. I have just stage 1 done. Would you recommend resonator delete? I mainly want to have that roar you hear from outside the car when its coming towards you. Sounds like sex.

Idk if I should move up to stage 3 instead of res delete. I don't want to submerge in water and worry about water gettin in the intake. Whatchu think

 

I myself don't plan on installing a test pipe or J pipe any time soon so that's y I deleted the resonator, once I start getting into my exhaust I will be purchasing one so it all depends on u and ur plans. I have a CAI as well and really wouldn't worry about hydro lock man, as long as u stay out of 3 foot deep puddles ur good bro.

 

Hmm, I guess in due time I'll figure out what I do.

 

u could always add a resonator later bro, it's easy enough. y not save the money and see how u like it first, this isn't an expensive mod ($80) a really nice dynomax resonator is under $60 lol. let me know when u end up doing

since I have tomorrow off of work I'm going to get up early and modify my stock front side markers by replacing the amber LEDs with white ones. I will be posting pics of the process and also the final result

 

Exhaust mods sound wise vary a great deal from hearing it from inside and outside the vehicle.

The video inside the car makes the exhaust sound good, but listening to it from outside the car, stage 4 makes the car sound like it's missing something (no pun intended) and it also introduces a little bit of rasp.

 

oh yea of course there is some rasp but very minimal. if I don't get on it u hear none whatsoever but in my vids I wanted to show everyone that even under heavy throttle the rasp is very little

 

Yeah, it's very minimal under heavy load. If you add a J-pipe that deletes the 3rd cat, forget about it, central then with no resonator installed.

 

those are in the plans but a resonator will obviously be installed at the same time. for now though I'm pretty happy with the result. maybe ill make another video of normal driving conditions, car sound stock with the exception of a deep growl that's alittle louder than stock. until I got on the gas hard my buddy thought my exhaust still sounded like stock lol

I really dislike the Depo side markers so modifying my stock ones only seem right

 

big thanks to paperboy42190 for helping me out with some much needed pure white LEDs for my front side marker project. had a hard time finding some to match my switchbacks, everything had a blue tint. sometime this weekend ill be working on them and updating

 

Can't wait for the update

 

dude what's going on with ur switchbacks? we putting those resistors in or what?

 

Yea man I've been slacking big time with those
I'm waiting on my rear a spec trim and front chrome trim to come out of the body shop...excited about that

 

hell ya I'd be too! hit me up so we can take care of those, I also wanna see those parts installed and freshly painted so don't be a stranger

 

what did you tint this with?

 

no doubt bro...i'll hit u and eddie up for a mini install day haha
probably going to get the brake package from excelerate soon(in the next couple of months)
at the same time i want to mess around with my suspension...i think i can go lower with the koni yellows

 

^^...sounds good...im ready when you are....

 

trust me the pic makes them look alot better lol. they don't match the side markers as close as I hoped. this tint is like brown. gunna try a smoked tint from rvinyl.com soon unless anyone else can help me out
hell ya bro u know I'm ready

 

yeah i want to match my side markers! damn it! lol

 

rvinyl.com has a really good quality tint and from what another member has told me a good match

 

Hey man just wanted to let you know that I ended up deleting the intake resonator and it did make it sound a little better with the stage 1. I haven't fully heard it with the windows down cuz it's still kinda cold and windy but I love it as of now so far. Especially from the outside on wot. I had my girl floor it and it sounds awesome !! Didn't expect it to sound that good. Inside driving sounds a little more purr while driving. Not sure if u have seen my thread pics yet but ima try and get videos soon too.

 

good to hear man!! knew ud like it. and yes I've seen ur fucking progress thread lol ur car is sick and I'm jealous... just ask bluetl04 if u don't believe me haha. keep up the good work man hopefully I'll be there too man someday

 

lol thanks mane appreciate it. I'm just tryin to keep up wit you guys and everyone else on here. Kinda cool how our cars are identical but depending on the mods it can change the look drastically. Your car is on it's way already to a mean mother ****** once you slap some wheels bro. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

I dunno man maybe. but in all honesty ur car is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. I need to have alot of my mods redone as well trying to keep up with everyone lol. my car has been a nightmare and continues to be. this weekend is my side marker mod, rewrapping my grill in CF, and trying to get my front lip to fit better. one side is overlapping into my wheel well as well as the gaps under my headlights since its on a base '08 bumper. wish me luck.... I'm gunna need it

 

Damn, well good luck

 

You got the Breakmotive rotors right? How are they putting up so far?

 

great so far, was having an issue of my ebrake shows dragging and for extra insurance I greased the shit out of my slide pins but since then it's been good

 

just a teaser of my white sidemarker led mod. 2 5000k LEDs and 330 ohm resistors were used and soldered in for a completely oem looking install as well as no fear of hot spots or them burning out due to voltage spikes. my shitty iphone camera makes them look weird but let me assure u they are white with no blue tint as was my original worry but paperboy hooked me up

 

 

side markers are done, just finished them up and going to epoxy them now. I have a few more pics of the process but isn't much to see really but I didn't just get done testing them and they looks good. seen to be just as bright as the rears even though its daylight. cant wait to see them tonight!!!!

 

final product, will post some night pics later

 

nice progress Justin, BTW when are we gona have the next meet?

 

hey man, ill be posting something soon I'm just tryin to get a few things I've been putting off done on my weekends so I'm thinking maybe the weekend after the 14th

 

Side markers.....

 

thanks Steve, was alot easier than I anticipated. hard part was tracking down warm white LEDs to match my 5k switchbacks.

 

Where can I get some resistors to wire into my signal lights

 

vleds.com and wire them in ur trunk so the brake light signals, it's alot easier and hidden behind the carpet on the sides of the trunk
