So this is how it sits right now. I'm not a master of iPhone4S photography at this time so these look like dook. I'm 'functional' enough to drive the way I like to drive but I'm still not aggressive enough. Even though I hate using anything over 5mm I'll be adding a 15mm bolt-on and then putting the 5mm on the front. Guess I'll see what it looks like.

Oh and this is all IF I don't sell the car on Monday. I'm lame. Keep adding stuff while I try to get rid of it. The fuck.

Starting to feel like I may be trapped in this car for quite some time. I would love to make decent power without forced induction...

Header-back, OFT, and E85 for now.

Is that what you're running? Been looking into UEL headers and thinking about a tune. For those most part the 'gains' would only be filling in that huge hole of power dip that we al experience...

Did that hub make it's way to you? My phone is in my car.

Hub is here.

I run UEL headers.

I will be flashing to E85 this weekend. Even with the 91oct flash, the torque dip is gone.

Glad it showed up. Hope those fuckers packaged it decently.

I've given up on trying to get rid of this thing. I wanted to get Meisters but they weigh too much. So now I'm looking to spend a decent chunk on some marginal 'oomph'. What are you using as far as exhaust? I wanted to get a slightly boso-esque straight pipe and call it a day. If I save the $800+ I would spend on an aftermarket exahust then I would most likely get the headers coated.

Meisters were pretty heavy, I'll admit.

I'm running Mackin's MXP UEL headers, over pipe, front pipe, and catback... not a fan of the blast pipes.

I'm so happy they started selling from their own website. You're not partial to blast pipes? Looks/sound-wise?

Looks wise mainly.. they definitely sound nice, especially with a custom straight pipe with a resonator.

The MXP catback has maybe 2-3 resonators... sounds amazing with the UEL headers...

FT86SF catted UEL if emissions is your thing, custom piping all the way back (actually normally comes out cheaper than getting a pre-made system), OFT with the E85 stg. 2 tune. Sounds like it'll fit your needs just fine.

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking. Saving money on a everything else but the headers and a custom (resonated) straight pipe. I'm in CA so anything I do to the exhaust will most likely piss of the sniffer. Might as well go balls deep and do it dirty. I'll just have to do what every CA resident does: throw the stock shit on for smog every other year.

Gonna sell my TEs so I can afford a vinyl wrap. Then I'll just get Rota Grids and put Rays/Volks decals on. I'm trying to get my car featured on this forum.
