Installed magnaflow cat back to compliment the UEL header. Sounds great, very deep and not as rumbly as my old WRX but you can hear it for sure!

Oops! Had to lol over your supremely cool and subtle report. I sincerely hope Sliding Lab 101 did not result in scrapes or dents. Onward!

Glad someone picked up on that... happened on a corner where I was going entirely too fast after overtaking someone. Legitimate concern I'd go off the side...

Lol....like LadyMatic.


Run a couple more psi up front and drop a pound in the rear = less invasive.

Yeah the pictures you see online don't typically do much justice. My friend has a release series tC in yellow, and hers looks very tangerine-colored versus mine. It's quite a stark difference.

Mileage get yesterday after taking my car to the shop. Installed ARP wheel studs, stoptech 309 brakes, and two new michelin primacy HP. But, installer broke a wheel speed sensor, so the car is lit up like a christmas tree in limp mode, won't rev over 3.5k.

Worst part about the limp mode is the idle is low at 500, so it shakes a little bit and sounds like crap, and it wants to stall when you stop and clutch in. Plus the radiator fans are on 100% of the time for added crappiness. AHHH. This part can't come in soon enough!.

Topped of the car with half a quart of oil today too.

I paid $430 for them unpainted and another $200 for paint.

I think TRD offers them in a few factory colors pre-painted but unfortunately, no WRB.

Ammo is the best! I put reflex on my car in January and it's still holding strong. Going to do another coat here soon

I'll post some pictures soon. Detailing the car tomorrow and then taking pictures. Unfortunately the oem wheels are all boxed up waiting for someone to buy them so I'll only have pictures with the ARC-8 wheels.

I like Ammo NYC products too! I'll probably do another reflex coat near spring next year and then simply maintain what I put on with regular washes and ammo hydrate.
