The invidia n1 is really popular for our cars, I believe there's an install DIY somewhere in the DIY section. It's really simple, it's just a matter of unbolting one and adding the other. Most people have done it in their driveways actually.

I wish :/ I've been away at school since January. I'm still trying to decide between the Invidia N1 and a Berk dual muffler delete. No matter what I'm getting a catless front pipe very soon. My other plans are the spacers I showed you and painting my wheels orange. :happy0180:

Oh yeah, I'm also looking at a rear sway bar but I'm not sure....

Eh your car, but i would recommend keeping your cats for a number of reasons... Especially in 4 cylinders, after a while, a catless exhaust will slowly begin to sound like sh*t and also you experience FAR less check engine lights. On my GTI i have a turbo back exhaust and the check engine light was a weekly ordeal for me

The difference is, on the Toyobaru, the o2 sensor is after the first cat on the header. Anything you do after that doesn't matter as far as the ECU/engine is concerned. I know nothing about the catless sounding worse and worse, though. My dream exhaust is the ARK Grip series, followed by the invidia n1. The appeal of the exhaust delete is that with the delete and catless front pipe it'd still be cheaper than the n1 by a considerable amount. Interestingly enough, from most reports the muffler delete drones quite a bit less than the Invidia N1 and for me, that is important because I spend most of my time on the highway. Do you notice any cabin drone with yours?

Yeah honestly sometimes the drone gets so loud i feel like my eardrums are gonna pop lol but that usually happens in the 4.5-6k range.

As far as the o2 sensor I did not know that! Thanks for the info, might have to reconsider my setup in the future now!

An update! As an early birthday present I got myself a new shift knob: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-SPEED-TRD-...773#vi-content

Should be arriving the 8th or 9th! Woo

Guess I'm not the only raven fr-s in the northland, damn. I'm just outside of claycomo. Still have yet to see another up here.

So, over the weekend me and 7 other FR-S/BR-Z guys went to the KC Import Nights car show. Expected turnout was supposed to be over 300, but the rain limited it significantly. On a good note, it was great to finally meet everyone (hi @switchlanez) and at this point I'm SOOOO close to 1k it almost hurts. Probably breaking that mark today.

Also, the shift knob! I love it! It's the size of cue ball but is actually lighter than the stock knob; However for whatever reason I like it a lot better. The bigger knob really works for how I shift and the grey with red accents goes with the car well. Plus, it's TRD!

It arrived in about 5 days btw. I'll post some pics of mine on monday or tuesday hopefully. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-SPEED-TRD-...-/321058258773
