What's your goal? Are you going for absolute no-compromise performance, or are you on a bit of a budget? Or are you just in it for the sound/looks?

KslayFRZ · 11-11-2013, 07:09 AM

All of the above...not really a budget but performance and sound

Well, an over pipe certainly won't hurt. I'd just recommend keeping an eye on the classifides section. The PLM over pipes are relatively cheap and I've seen people sell them every once in a while. Same for headers. I got my Borla headers for $300 shipped. Take an already cheap item and get it barely used at a used price and you're doing good. But yeah, if you're going for performance, HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS HEADERS. And a tune.

And what if I can't match all diameters?

Meh... just get as close as you can. There's only a handful of commonly used diameters though, so it shouldn't be too hard.

KslayFRZ · 11-11-2013, 07:23 AM

Ok thanks

I would save the money now, and upgrade later.

So… the thought of getting a full sleeve tattoo has crossed my mind many times over the years. The thought of having an everlasting job stopper kind of bothers me, while simultaneously inspiring me to do it even more, which is a crazy feeling. For one thing, these are modern times where a huge portion of the <35-years-old population has tattoos, and so lots of hiring is being done by people with tattoos and dress code regulations are certainly becoming more and more lax. But also, if someone is going to be closed minded enough to not hire someone based on looks, race, gender, etc. etc., then… FUCK that person or company. Seriously. Back in the good ol’ days, I used to feel like, “oh… intolerance sucks, but I’ll just try to dodge that sort of behavior.” But the older I get, the more intolerant of intolerance I become. Even to the point of turning down a good job if it meant I’d be working for negative people. I guess I’m turning into a “man of principles,” if you will.

But the job issue is just one aspect of it. The real clincher is the possibility of getting tired of it. Tattoo removal has come a long way and actually... nowadays… yes, you can pretty much totally undo a tattoo. Even still, if I decide to do something that requires commitment, I like to fully commit. I guess it’s the BMX rider in me. “Let’s warm up with some half-backflips,” said no rider ever. Or at least I've never said that. But even if it’s something that can be undone – marriage, moving to another country, etc., I still like to approach it as if there’s no way out. I’ve always felt that’s the proper way to make any important decision. Assume it’s 100% permanent, and behave like it’s so afterwards.

I had a dream I got a sleeve a few days ago, and ever since then I’ve been thinking about it a lot. It’s weird. Dreams don’t normally affect me like this. It’s so intense, actually, that I felt the need to share. I’m not even sure if I’m asking for suggestions or input, just felt provoked.

Get the sleeve or GTFO

LOL. I totally get what your saying about jobs though. I work in the Railroad industry so tats, even in management, are acceptable. Thank god cuz I got 14 different tats and sleeve will be coming soon
