I just worry about a rebuild when the time comes. Someone should bite the bullet and try these out for me! (Ill even hook you up with my source of getting them for ~1300).

These may be on my car for 2015 season:

HKS rebuild procedure is different than in recent years past. The North American importer of HKS, (as well as HKS themselves) is going to pay for expedite shipping to Japan, as well as FROM Japan...the total turn around to get back into the customers hands for a warranty (very rare with HKS) or rebuild procedure will about 1 month. Which should be about the same as dealing with KW or anyone else located in North America.

I sent an email to motovicity to see if thats the case. If so...niceeeee.

My Konis actually took almost three months...I had to send in my MCS fronts and including shipping time (shipping paid for by MCS both ways), I had them back in less than two weeks. That was after telling them that I wasn't in a hurry!

Any STX guys parting out their mods or changing parts for other parts after Nationals? PM me if you're considering doing this, let me know what parts you'll be taking off. I'll be looking for all exhaust parts (though I'm picky on headers, only interested in JDL UELs), certain intakes, certain coilover kits, camber plates, rear control arms, wheels, pullies, oil coolers (since they will be legal next year likely)

Even if you aren't for sure or even have prices yet, PM me. I'm trying to get a feel for what is out there. I've been back and forth on going STX vs selling and going AS C5Z06. I can't afford to do this with all new parts. I won't even begin STX prep until I have headers and tune lined up though (I needs some damn torque on the streets!!)

Not sure if he is willing to ship but here are some parts.

The RPF1s are for sale as well.

Appreciate it but I'm not ready to buy yet unless something is an insane deal.

That's why I'm looking for people parting post-nationals. That's when I'll be looking to do the real buying

So I'm currently running a catless header. Anyone out there running a muffler delete/turndown with just a catless header (stock OP/FP/catback)? Is it too loud for the 96 dB limit (or whatever the limit is)?

[vroom4]

it plain just sounds miserable and raspy IMO.

[conedodging]

Joining the party! Probably start to build it up in earnest early next year.

The lower end is usually 92dB and you might be close depending where they stick the sound meter. How many other resonators are in the system? If you don't have other resonators it won't just be loud but it will also sound terrible and people will hate it and laugh at you.
