Here she is, getting picked up at Longo Toyota! Couldn't wait until I got home to take pictures. 2014 whiteout with no addons. Had 2 Miles on it. So stoked. Love the look without the front license plate. I have no intention in attaching one either.

UPDATE #1

Only took me 2 weeks to get the windows tinted. After a week I finally settled on 35% tint all around. Didnt want it to be too dark and catch too much attention of the police. 35 was just dark enough for me and it looks nice all the same color. Huge shoutout and thanks to Al and Ed's Autosound in East Pasadena. They did a great job!

UPDATE #2

Perrin header back exhaust has been shipped minus overpipe. Will post pictures after installed.

Really looking forward to Saturday. All Perrin Header Back exhaust parts have arrived and my 1000 mile check up will be completed this afternoon. Definitely ready to get started on it. In the meantime. Here are some teaser shots of it in the box. Unfortunately they are still wrapped in the plastic as I don't want to take them out until they're going on the car.

The catback came foam-injected quite nicely as you'll see in the pictures. I was impressed how nicely everything was placed and protected.

The front pipe and over pipe were less protected but still arrived as nice as I expected them to. Take a look.



I apologize. Apparently I didn't get a picture of the over pipe. I'll take a picture of that tonight as well as the boxes they all came in. I'm planning to take pictures of each part out of their bag before and after installation as well.

------------------------------------------------------

First impression: very impressed. The welds all look very nice, even the wire welds. The stainless is immaculate. And I'm chompin at the bit to get the stock exhaust off and the Perrin on! Hoping it's not a po-po magnet, looking to get a uel header down the road at some point. That will most likely be a cop magnet, but fun
Up on the lift. Lookin pretty sweet if I do say so myself!


Perfect tips. Had to twist the bent pipe a little bit to align the tips. After tightening them the first time the left one stuck out about 2 inches and the right one was in about 2 inches. After twisting the pipe and tightening, it pulled the tips to the correct spot no problem.


Here are some pictures of the bottom with it all together


Didn't have ANY fitment issues, seamless uninstall (did NOT have to remove the fiberglass shield OR lift the engine up to get the overpipe out. I did have to remove the heatshields, but the overpipe slipped right out after that. No problems. Everything unbolted just fine, no problems, and everything was installed super seamlessly. Great fitment, instructions NOT needed if you've ever seen a socket wrench before. Took about an hour to do the entire job on a lift. Would have easily taken twice as long at least to use jackstands and, call me crazy, but I feel uncomfortable having a car that low to my face for an extended period of time.

And finally one with it back on the ground.


Started it up in the shop and it sounded so sweet. Grabbed lunch across the street and then drove it home with a huge smile on my face.

I have a whole bunch of other upgrades that I want to do soon. Any suggestions what I should do next?

Congrats on the purchase man! Shifter mods are fun/inexpensive mods. I haven't done anything other than cheap/free mods so far though

Thanks! I actually can't complain about the shifter. It seems pretty darn fun the way stock. Really notchy and gears are easy to find. Although a Kartboy Short Shifter is on the list of things to get eventually.

Anyone have 18 inch wheel suggestions? My price cap is about 1500 including tires and I'm not buying awful cheap tires to save a little money. I value my life more than nice wheels.
