Ill be there again, but most likely just watching again....changed the oil yesterday and had a more than comfortable amount of metal shavings stuck to my magnetic drain plug

And mad over being gone for 2 hours?! I normally leave home around 5, and dont get back till going on 11. lol

Big brother will live...

Cant really tell from the pics, but the Combo deal that he has... The Jpipe looks like there is no option of adding in a highflow cat. Also, he does offer a 300 Cell Highflow Cat.

I need to hear that setup...No Cats, Jpipe and Non Resonated exhaust may be too loud for my taste.

yea the pic doesn't have 3rd cat delete but title says 3rd cat is included in the price. resonated version of 3rd cat delete is only $10 more.

running catless with catback system will get pretty raspy. you'll need highflow cat or just keep the stock.

ATLP highflow cat is 200cell and Richie's is 300cell. OEM TypeS and Base 3rd cat is 350cell. Also primary cat on base is 900cell and 600cell on the typeS. Seems like it'll get pretty raspy after losing 900cell primary cats plus the 350cell for the 3rd.

currently i have a 3rd cat delete and will see how much it'll get raspy after the precat deletes. if it gets any raspier, i'll put the 3rd cat back on.

this is a video of my tsx with comptech header, randomtech cat, and tanabe catback. its pretty damn raspy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkgjgLABp3k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EecMfv7ASbE

and this one is after adding in additional resonator.

Mine is running the CT header, RT cat, and CT exhaust and isn't obnoxiously raspy at all. But some may find it to be raspy, all in the eye of the beholder I suppose. I personally like a deeper aggressive tone that can be classified as raspy. I remember your TSX Min, that thing was quiet, almost couldn't tell there was an exhaust.

Kyle - I eat about the same time, let me know a good day.

Youve got the ATLP J pipe to correct?? Let me know how it "smells" with no cats.

Didnt hear any rattling at the track. In fact, your car sounded really deep for no cat.

tanabes on my tsx was pretty loud "for me"

i have the atlp jpipe and testpipe currently. with the richie's precat deletes i'll be running catless and ruin oregon's green environment

also i just swapped out my 245/40/18 goodyear f1 allseason for nexen 235/40/18 today. goodyears rubbed every single time going up the curbs nexens are so much comfortable compared to hard goodyears. so much quieter and smoother on road.

Anything can be done. There is some guy on CarDomain that has the front end of a TL and rear end of a G35 on a DC2. Money and bondo makes anything possible.

Yup ill be there again on saturday.
The crowd....It all depends, i guess alot of people are going now because its close to the end of the year. Last week though, 10 oclock hit and there was only 15-20 cars. My dad got in 3 runs in under 30 min after 10 oclock. And you dont have to worry about noise restriction either.

Thanks man, depends what you want done and condition of lights being returned.

I had to pay $400 to get them made and shipped. Once my old lights get to him he will charge back a refund. Also i had the ZKW Replica lenses swapped as well.

Here is his link on the 3g side.
