The car is looking quite nice. Simple, stylish, and sweet. I didn't like the Hot Lava at first, but after I saw it in person... WOW! Great wheel selection too.

Cold air intake:
A cold-air intake is an aftermarket upgrade for car engines. These intakes replace the stock intake of the car and provide horsepower gains. Cold air carries more oxygen, which results in stronger combustion and horsepower. Some enthusiasts also say it gives you better gas mileage. I’m not an expert on this matter.


Exhaust resonator/valve /sound chamber:
Exhaust resonators are usually add-on features in exhaust systems. They are placed together with the mufflers along the exhaust pipe and work primarily to decrease exhaust noise. The exhaust noise passes through the resonating chamber, which in turn tunes the sound to cause destructive interference in order to be canceled out by the opposite sound waves. And for the valve, it’s a discharge opening coming from the cold air intake going through the resonator system. Again, I’m not an expert on this matter.

Thank you, but I'm also looking forward to your build. I can't wait for your complete build to be done. I guess I'm more excited than you are.
