Decay's Ultramarine Trackrat

[Decay107]

Installed a STI Transmission mount and ForcedFab mount stiffener, initial impression is that the combo is slightly better than the whiteline/kartboy poly insert. The 2-3 shift is noticeably less notchy.

And it sounds so burbly that after a WOT pull ken block appeared out of nowhere and offered me a monster energy and a flat brimmed hat, AWESOME!

How's the volume and drone with the Tomei UEL header and front pipe? I'm actually planning to go with the Tomei UEL myself...wondering how loud it'll get with my Tomei 60S...

Umm, it's really freaking loud (still quieter than the unmuffled catted Nameless full exhaust), there is certainly some interior noise, but that might have something to do with my lack of interior

If you like dubstep and find yourself in traffic often you'll love it! At idle there's a constant DEEP wubwubwubwubwubwubwub.

So... do you plan on selling those nameless headers?

Also, what made you switch?

Headers are for sale in the Northwest buy/sell section right now, I'd be wiling to ship, and I could get a quote if you're genuinely interested. Pm me and we can work out details.


Swapped out because it doesn't fit with the blower I'm planning to add sometime in the next few months

Got re-tuned for the new exhaust set up and added a radium 1.3 bar radiator cap on a whim.

Was sick and tired of my car being a spoiled brat, so I did this...


Subaru spoiler was a bit too Pontiac Grand Am-y for me

Who has paint matched brake fluid? This guy! Love how it ties together the engine bay colors.





But seriously, fuck the DOT for banning this stuff , easiest full brake system flush I've ever done.

Been driving on the stock catback for about a month now, swapped the track pipe back on last night and went out for a drive. Upon returning I quickly reinstalled the stock catback and listed the track pipe for sale. Think I might be done with loud exhausts for the time being, so nice to be able to hear myself think while driving...

*edit, also I'm pretty sure I burned most of the muffler insulation out of my track pipe during my last ORP outing, it seems a whole lot louder than I remember.

Done a couple things over the past week, first off picked up a set Of JDM Exhaust tips. They fit, but stuck out a little too far when paired with a 2013 muffler as in this picture (not my car)

Still, worlds better than those terrible stock exhaust tips.

@johan and I noticed that the JDM tips were significantly longer than the '15 USDM tips so we swapped them. Boom, perfect fit with a '13 muffler, and the JDM tips are way less sunk into the bumper on his '15



I also, after talking a bit with @Ultramaroon and going over some of the wiring schematics, decided to defeat the clutch start interlock by jumping the upper clutch switch.



I'm hopeful this will prolong the life of my thrust bearings. Cruise control, gear indicator, and launch control functionality are unaffected.

Images are borked

It trips me out every time I look at the back of my car now. So used to the tips being nearly invisible. They look so similar, but different - better - it's weird.
