Hows the car feel with that up/downpipe combo? Are you planning on getting it tuned?

Haven't gotten any of it on yet, still waiting on shipping :(

Only thing to show up so far is the downpipe

Still waiting on a whole slew of stuff to show up that I ordered last week:

-Uppipe
-Tein badge for grille
-CF exhaust thing
-Domo doll :D





And yes I will be getting it tuned by Nate (Bullwinkle)from MNSubaru again, he is one of the few non-douche members over there and know shis shit.

Why a Tein badge?

Cause I'm a ricer and have Tein springs...

Seriously though, it should look pretty nice, if not then it'll come off, it was only 8 bucks so I figured what the hell.

Got my uppipe and downpipe this weekend, also installed my little carbon fiber exhaust sheild.

Also had to re-adjust my front bumper a bit because it just didn't seem to fit right for some reason. We took the bumper off Saturday night and discovered a little damage, and this car was obviously in some sort of wreck in the past, here are some pics. Nothing too major, but it explained the bumper not fitting quite right.

Like I said nothing too major, now it looks much better than it did before and will also allow this new grill to look even nicer.


This also showed up on Friday, took about 10 minutes to install and I think it looks pretty nice and will actually be funtional once my new exhaust parts get installed.

I would sand a spray those welds, had the same deal on one of my cars, and the weld rusted out and broke. Rustoleum and a new weld fixed the issue.

Does anyone make one of those exhaust heatshields w/o all the pre-drilled screw holes?

No idea, I guess to me it didn't really matter having the rivets there cause my car is already silver and it matched good
