ahhh well let me know after tonight if you check.... and as for my hazards... i tried while parking and they won't stick, holding it down for a sec but still doesn't stay.
i do hear a bit of rattle again coming from my rear shelf sometimes... i think the next time i bring it in, i'll mention the hazards.

why atlp 3rd cat delete over RV6?
I just wanted to go with RV6 cuz the Jpipe has more ground clearance?? so i can be lower

atlp race pipe comes with flanges so oem cat shield can be reused. stealth
![Ninja](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif)
rv6 jpipe has more clearance but either atlp or excelerate's version is better built and designed.
mods should be listed on the video note. forgot what was on the car while clip was taken while ago.

Can i do a write up for how much i hate my battery...
Havnt driven car for...oh, 1 day and my shit is dead dead as dead dead gets.
Mind you this is after i re-wired my fogs so that they cant be left on, checked all my grounds. The only thing that "stays on" is my sub, and thats just for the little red light that says its getting power.
At 11 I call speed concept to see how this one year warranty shit works.

Personally, i think it looks funny when there is no rear lip.
If anything, get front and back and then wait for the side skirts.
Reason being, the ASPEC kit really puts a edgy look to the car. Edgy in the front with base roundness looks kinda odd to me.

yeah, i hate how the factory front lip-less-ness looks haha i got a good deal on the full kit too with a dealer discount ends up around 860 (if i remember correctly) but separately the front lip is around 3 or less i thinkk...

front lips of any kind never look good with no support IMO. You need front and rear for sure.
Kyle - there is a review section on the site now, you could author on your experience in the review section. I can give you author rights if you want to do
Let me know. Also, you get that job out here yo?

Long weekend for me (5days off). Got all my parts in this week and going to do the icebox/shortshift/hid fogs today. Got 3000k/laminX hids for the foglights since front bumper is coming off anyways. Comtech header should be going on tomorrow after im done polishing it. Header came from the east coast so there is a bit of oxidation and surface rust. Will post pics of the header later!
I agree with what the others said. Front lip looks funny with no rear. I myself plan on just getting front/rear euro lips this spring/summer.

^^agreed passenger side engine back lowest nut on the stock mani is a huge PITA. I took an impact wrench to it and finally got it off but it was hard to do. Only 28K on the odometer at the time too

any update on if we all were still planning to do a photoshoot sometime soon? or did that disolve? the sunny weather is given me the MOD bug again
#2031
yes its the race test pipe.. the one i have now is a resonated pipe but i am pretty sure thats where my rattle is coming from so i want to go to just straight pipe.. but curious how much louder it will be.. but since you didnt have it i guess you wouldnt know haha.. i wouldnt think it should be too much louder since the resonated one i have now is pretty close to a straight through design anyway and there is no stuffing in it...
#2032

even if you have no stuffing in your resonated pipe you still have additional metal creating sound insulation. The race pipe will be a bit louder and a bit more stinky. How do you plan to pass DEQ?
#2033
if not then i still have my old cat i can throw back on for an hour and take it back off.. U think if i spray the exhaust with air freshner it might throw them off from the gas smell hahah or i could just where alot of cologne

i wouldn't know for sure but it'll sure get louder than it is now and create more rattle. i've played too much with resonators on my previous accord and tsx so i can pretty much guess the outcome of removing that resonated race pipe you have now. plus you'll have more drone and it'll get raspy.
when i deleted all of the cats (3 total) on my tl few months ago, it create all sorts of sounds such as heavy drone, metals clunking, cabin vibrating from exhaust resonating, etc... so i installed the 3rd cat back on and welded on longer resonator after the 3rd cat and metal clunking noise dissapeared.
now i'm wondering if that rattling noise is created by resonation. also try pulling out heat shield on top where cat used to reside.

maybe thats what i should try.. (removing the heatshield) just sick of the rattle.. almost tempted to put my old cat back in just to see if that is really it too.

amp wiring can get fustrating.. why isnt your amp hooked up on a switch so it will turn off when the radio is off?
#2039
