Wow, I never thought I'd see the day where our very own little Meko would grow a pair. I'm so very proud!

And congrats on the sale, Farukh.

^^^Thanks for the update, man.
I'll probably tackle that this weekend or the next (revamping my extra set).

I'm very happy Meko is excited. Did he just pick up, or actually install?
I am jealous of the tips...I am trying hard to find a way to get a pair of the tips to weld onto mine.

^^ He just picked it up, I sent him to napa with part numbers for the gaskets as he will need new gaskets to go along with the exhaust. He is planning on installing it today.

You do!!!!!!
but I feel like the other way...
I feel like buying an black stock UA6, with MT and Nav
Just lower it, swap over the same stuff under the engine, exhaust, tint, and headlights
Done. Not even A-Spec kit

I don't know why , try to keep it simple and fast
That's what I feel like doing

Like what???????

---------------------------------------


YESTERDAY,


Car totally transformed
I didn't had balance, nor alignment

New tires 225s are on
Balance is all set
Alignment is all set
New exhaust is all set
Removal of 3rd cat is all set

Results? Jesus totally a different car
I can't describe how the car pulls now and rides soooo smooth and quick. JUST AMAZING I don't know how to say

But, yeah Faruk, as I texted you there is a cabin drone a little

We tested it, outside is perfect, no drone at all, nor rasp
Just the tone
but inside, there is a little
Yeah 3rd cat might lower it but fuh no I am not going back, I want speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

Uploading pics now
or might go for a drive again
Just like Jnc told me the tone the exhaust gives at woot is just sex

If I drive slowly slow, no drone, but when it gets to 1900 rpm, it starts untul 2900 rpm... I think
Same if I floor it a little on a ramp while going with 75mph

meh...

^^ It could be the test pipe then, as I have resonated 3rd cat delete from richie. Put your OEM 3rd cat on to see if that eliminates the drone you are mentioning.

BTW: Pictures? Videos?

Tyler, you'll be happy to hear that I want those tips, I'm just not willing to lose the true dual to get them. But I do want them...Someone convince Marcus to sell me just the tips! C'mon Marcus, let's play just the tips! He said

But I don't want to slow the car, positive that stupid 3rd cat slows the car
Anyways will see, it's liveable
Let me stop by your place and you test drive it, compare with your old setup?

but noh not touching to ATLP, not touching to 3rd cat

Jeremy!!!!! Tips came out better than I've expected you know I didn't like these because looked like the ones on RL but no way, fits perfect and stands out perfect

oh by the way bro, both ends of the test pipe was different
I didn't know that,
so the gasget I got only fitted to rear side, for the front that connects to J-Pipe, we did make it fit by drilling it







Winter mode but still looks good

















THIS!!!!! THIS MADE IT STAND PERFECT FROM REAR
As I remember stock comes with polished inside right?























Will get better pics today
I have couple videos but it's from the cellphone
Will record better ones with camera
