Yes, very nice exhaust, is the DP catted on yours ? I could have went either way, but trying to cut back on some noise

MY DP is not catted. I only have the original factory cat. The exhaust is loud on cold starts and under throttle. When driving around town it is quite and on the highway it is almost stock quiet. which i really appreciate

The car is even quieter now with my tune which sounds weird to say but its true! It seems to be able to go faster at lower revs than before so it is always a little bit quieter, especially in the city.

My car is not the one you would want to start after midnight on a cold night..would potentially wake some neighbors haha.

Yeah I was even suprised how much louder my catback is over stock.

Did you get your tune tweaked by John for your intake ? I got an updated tune for AFe intake using his new ticket system

Which tune do you prefer between FA20 and Visconti? I was thinking of getting FA20 stage 1 or just wait until I get an intake and skip stage 1 all together.

mm I will try and put in something with his ticket system. To be honest I do not know if there is a point right now because I am not driving my car. It felt great (better than non tune in every way) for how it was driving. and I mentioned my car had the airaid intake to him on several occasions. 1st-3rd gear shifts are not so much smoother than before. It is a world of a difference.

Well if you buy STG1 now and then upgrade to STG2, it will run you another $100 for that tune and chances are you will never go back to STG1. Cuz your planning on getting an intake anyway, might be better off just doing that first, then grab the STG2

I like both tunes, outa the box the STG2 was already tweaked for intake.
However Visconti's STG1 is also great after he tweaked my tune for intake.
Can't go wrong with either one! FA20 might be a little faster service as he does not have a huge customer base like Visconti

Oh you decided to park the car for winter like me eh ?

Parked, but still modding

[SkAsphalt]

haha I will still be modding, but don't know if getting a tune file is high on my priority list now that I finally have my car flashed and running well. I still need to do my headlights...that has a higher priority haha

HIDS ? What temp are you going with ?

I have The Retro Fit Source, RetroQuik Kit (or whatever it is called) bi-xenon projector swap sitting in my basement. I just didn't want to lose any potential driving time should the install go slower than I planned. I went with 6000k which is my preferred HID colour. A little on the blue side - but the bulbs that they sell are much closer to 5600 so its a nice blue tinted pure white. I am excited to do the mod, but I have not decided if I will paint my headlights while I have them apart. I need to decide on that soon.

I may just use plasti-dip them so if I hate it, or grow tired of it, I can just open them up and go back to stock very quickly.


Also, does anyone know of a reliable place to order the GT-86 fog lamps and housings from? I love the look of them and want them in my car. People on the forum have gotten them but every person just replies "JDM Yo" to me...not exactly educational.

Are you guys able to order in the fog light mounting brackets that go into the factory bumper? I was just reading that the Subaru Outback (2011) fog lights fit in and are much higher quality, so I would order the surrounds, some outback lights and a H11 wiring harness and go form there. I bet some wiring and DIY talent would be needed but would be super worth it Plus I could slap in some 3000k bulbs for sexy JDM fog light action (when it is actually raining/foggy out)

We don't carry OEM parts, but can definitely supply pretty much all aftermarket.

I brought my Motiv Concepts test-pipe, Cusco catch-can and T1R 70R exhaust in through here

Hi @empower-auto! Welcome! Do you happen to drive an raven FR-S with an "EMPWER" front plate in Saskatoon?

And this thread got stickied! Good job Saskatchewan! Go Go Go!
