The car is looking pretty clean so far. The tint and lowering springs you have planned will really finish it off nicely.

Bulbs were from Ebay, I've since lost the link and I'm not sure it would still be good. Keep in mind, if you have an FRS, it's 7440 in the rear for the turns and 7444 (or 7443 which are not as high output) for the front turns. I couldn't find a 7444 when I was looking, so I have the 7443s. Lately, there have been a couple of threads with links to non-Ebay sites with the Chromed bulbs.

Stock, just the tips from Pepboys discussed here:

I'm actually waiting for the Nameless Performance downpipe which replaces the stock Cat. I'm going to try just changing the downpipe with the stock axleback to see what that sounds like, since there is no real power gain from an axleback. I don't need sound only for $500+

Id like to hear the results of the down pipe replacement with stock muffler.

Nameless Exhaust installed - hi flow cat with downpipe. the rest of the exhaust is stock for now. Did improve the sound of the stock muffler, just a little more "rumble" for lack of a better word. Just got it on, only did a few laps around the block, I'll have more later. Two hour install on jack stands, thus a couple of the install pics are little odd looking.

Happy with the results. Noticeable power improvement and a little bit louder with better tone, of course tone and loudness are very subjective. I won't be putting it on a dyno or anything like that, but I am happy with the decision to get this piece first. I may still do more later, but for the money, if you're more interested in power over sound, I like this.

Perhaps I'll try to come up with a way to record it.
