I wouldn't sell that to someone else. Garbage is the only place for it.

Tomei UEL header: loud as fark, and no gains anywhere over a decated OEM header.

Hardrace solid diff brace: way to noisy for a street car, replaced with whiteline diff mount inserts which were much better noise wise, and tightened up the rear end almost as good.

In another thread, the op would say you clearly don't know anything about cars...

Regret? Buying the invidia N1. Granted it was my very first mod and figured I'd just keep it for now. I just regret it because with a full system and my sc, it's just way loud sometimes. I walk out of my car after long rides and walk funny because my ears are equalizing.

Fitted a Harrop super charger and zero regrets.

Concerned about weight, I fitted a full cat back titanium exhaust...hated it.
Had it modified twice (in titanium) for less annoyingly rubbish sounding noise. Still hated it.
It cracked constantly (on admittedly rough road driving) but can only be re-welded once or twice.
Happily replaced with a fully custom made light gauge SS system... brilliant.

Sometimes steel is better.

what kind of issues did you have? I heard jackson racing is one of the “safest” if done correctly (ex. not too much boost ) .
