Put in the Perrin inlet pipe and changed the lug nuts to gold from Parts Shop Max to give more pop to the wheels overall.

MT Daily Driver. 80 miles a day (M - F) and Spirited drive on winding roads on Sunday mornings in Napa CA.

OFT Stage 1 tune, AutoFactory Exhaust, Skunk2 Intake, ACT Clutch & Prolite Flywheel and BFGoodrinch GeForce Sport comp2 tires.

No major problems. Tires were the best thing I changed on the car. Got me through some stormy weather here in the Bay Area this past rainy season.

I got an oil change and the car feels noticeably more eager. Like my usual throttle inputs yield a much greater response, as if I gained 10-15 hp. I tell people that it's just placebo effect and it's all in their head, but now I see what they're talking about. Mind you, it was the car's first oil change. On my old car with 135K+, the effect wasn't as pronounced, but this is VERY much palpable.

Thanks! As for the inlet pipe, nothing too noticeable. Motor seems more eager to go while driving and just a little more aggressive when blipping the throttle.


I would say though that the big difference comes from having to remove the sound generator. Previously, all I had done was just use the outlet plug in the glove box and put it over the hole underneath. I thought that was good enough. NOPE! With the sound generator removed, it's vastly more quiet while driving around the town.


If you are planning no major power mods down the line and can find one used like I did, I think you should pick one up.

Didn't do anything to the car...but, After ~1 year of weekly 6AM or 7PM video/conference calls, A Japanese Colleague final moved state side.

As an apology for the super early/late calls... he got me a gift!

Sorry for the late reply, I like the springs so far. The ride quality does not seem to suffer in the car looks much better an inch lower. I'm shooting some pictures soon and will post next week. The magna flow exhaust is also very cool no drone on highway but sounds great at lower speeds in starting up.

I put a similar inlet pipe on mine. I was really surprised by the difference. I originally only did it to get rid of the junk tubing and awful sound moderator.
