Amazon Amazon

This is the pano version. For the $10 extra bucks I'd just go 60" unless you're really tall.

I can't stand ball heads personally. Just to throw a few more pennies in on this discussion.

for me, its just a lot easier to use when you can adjust one axis at a time...Especially in the dark doing long exposures...which is the only thing I use mine for anyway. It could just be a 'learning curve' or what not, but just gets me aggravated to use the ball heads.

Or its an aversion to playing with little balls

don't worry Austin, when you hit 20 or so, the other one will descend.
then you'll have "game" with the ladies and you'll "need" both.

I'm just glad he's starting to realize that when his friends give him a hard time, it's not because we want him to prove how mad he can get.

Thread Update! Stage III Exhaust.



I got the Stage III exhaust done today, for those of you who don't know, it's replacing the OEM resonator with the Dynomax Part# 24235, and replacing the mid muffler with a straight pipe.

It sounds awesome. I only got to drive it about a block since I work very close to the shop but it sounds awesome. Not too loud but it's a little throatier, which is exactly what I wanted.

I also had them move the base tips back a little bit since adding the A-Spec made them appear sunken into the bumper.

I don't have videos yet but for comparison, look at ebelp's progress thread or The Machine's progress thread. Thanks to them, I was able to determine what I wanted and that the SIII was a good choice for me. I'd also like to thank Rockstar for his help with determining the longer resonator would eliminate rasp should we decide to put on a j-pipe.

Here's the pics of the tips

Tips look perfect!!!
Waiting for a video clip.

rockstar, tips are the only thing I don't like about your car, too small. But if I were you, I would try something new instead of oem.. but close to oem look.

Edit: Clean those tips!!! Even if the car is dirty, clean the tips

Glad you like the sound Austin, I knew you would. Having the tips adjusted out more looks great too. Almost makes me wish I never bought different tips and just moved these out. I have some different ones going on soon anyway. Hopefully they will sit higher up in the exhaust cut out than the dual tips did.
