I'm assuming that this is for the Manual Transmission only, right?

slates74 · 08-13-2013, 02:04 PM

Ah I could understand that as well. My car is pretty low on coils and so far, so good!

slates74 · 08-13-2013, 03:00 PM

As of now they only have one for the MT model I believe, if anyone is in the NNJ area with an auto model shoot me a pm and I'll see if I can set something up for you.

Op are you still stock exhaust?
I wonder what's the clearance for a full 2.5 header back system.

slates74 · 08-13-2013, 04:11 PM

Still on stock exhaust but I don't think a 2.5 in exhaust would be an issue, if you look at the under car shot the resonator is next to the driveshaft and I believe that is bigger than 2.5 in OD so I'm assuming an aftermarket exhaust would clear as well. Not sure though, just speculation.

You have a pending sale once it is AT approved

Went back and look at the pics
It does looks like you still have 1"-2" clearance 2.5" full exhaust should be fine

Yeah I'd say so. If I were going for an exhaust it'd likely be the perrin 2.5 resonated. If I end up swapping I'll let you know.

If this thing does weight only 12lbs then it's lighter than the 2 carbon fiber drive shafts by 1-2lbs. If it's cheaper and lighter, plus can handle up to 700lbs of torque then I don't see why someone wouldn't buy this for only $425!

Noke · 08-14-2013, 11:26 PM

saw you at the meet today. Definitely gonna look into this!

slates74 · 08-15-2013, 12:09 AM
