Possible to make exhaust video? Drive by also pls

[Aztec]

Got new tails the Spyder V2 Smoked. One of the Valentis I had previously had an issue with the DRL

[Aztec]

Installed Password JDM Strut bar set with the help of @Cooperdh
Some pretty blurry pics are all I have atm, but a noticeable increase in chassis stability

@Aztec I dig the build! I was wondering if you could take some side shots of your wheel setup, I was wondering how much poke if any you have up front or the rear. I'm currently running the same front camber as you, I want to avoid poke if I can.

Here are some side shots, I do get a very slight poke in the front, which is because I can't get any more negative camber with how wide my wheels/tires are on springs. If you have coils you can add more negative camber to tuck it more. OR if you get 17x8 etc you can tuck it more as well. IMO 17x9 245 tires are the way to go

Hey, it looks like we have pretty close to the same mods besides the header. I'm on e85 with a 4.56 FD right now. Do you think that the header added a big benefit even with these 2 mods?

Hey man, sorry for the late response. The header is a great increase in mid-range torque. If you already have an exhaust, catback etc. It will be ALOT louder so be forewarned. I'm rocking the stock exhaust with perrin tips with the Open flash header and I don't mind the noise one bit.
EDIT: I see you're running FP, and catback. If you do end up going with the header, I would look into swapping back the stock catback and keep the FP etc and see how you like it. (increase in power > sound IMO)

If you're in the market for a new header, I would get the new header from openflash that includes the Overpipe with it, a very good deal. I think E85, FD swap and the header/tune will make this VERY livable for not being FI
That said i'm looking into the ESC for a lower kick in torque and keeping very close to NA reliability

[Aztec]

I finally added some more exhaust goodies to my car!!
I added a Berk Overpipe and a Berk Catted Front Pipe.

So it currently goes Openflash UEL -> Berk OP -> Berk FP -> Stock Catback
and I LOVE the sound
@Teseo I don't have a driveby yet, but I took this video just being behind it.
Not loud at all when cruising, but beautiful when you get on it!

Sounds nice. Can do a cabin video, at least?

@Teseo

Remember I also have a Perrin CAI, which helps with the sound as well. This is with the stock catback. I think it's perfect

Yes, sound good. Also wheels look good and thats mean a lot cuz i dont like the rpf, but on your ride looks perfect and the drop is perfect too. I will considere them on the future. Thanks for the video

Haven't updated this thread in a while
Got some new tires recently, replaced my Goodyear F1A2 with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and love their ride quality and handling:

Also the back bumper got replaced to get rid of that nice black spot haha


THEN the exciting news.
I installed the Phantom Electric Supercharger. Bought it from fenton up in Canada. Foolishly started the install at 9pm on a Tuesday when this is my daily driver and I have work in the morning. Needless to say I finished it around 12:30am and IT WORKS!!!



The Torque increase is incredible when I'm giving it full boost (Literally just 70-100% throttle) About a half second to fully spool because it's electric and other than some minor problems with wiring and grounding issues. The kit has been flawless



EDIT: An example of troubleshooting when the ESC wasn't working properly. I sound so irritated throughout that video hahah!! The problem ended up being a short in my battery array due to some of the terminals not tightened down fully. Lots of struggle to find that one
