Nike12000's build log

Hey guys just wanted to update I did a muffler delete on my car and just had them weld in a piece of pipe. sounds very manageable on the highways and not too much but deff has a more aggressive tone. I think i might also take out the resinator and have them straight pipe that as well but wanted to get the intake first and see where things fall I dont want it soo loud its not usable on long trips or anything

Wooo hoo merry Christmas to me New K&n intake is on its way. I am mechanically minded and fearless but looking to see if there is any tips or tricks I should know about before I jump on this when in gets here in a few days? Thank for any and all help guys!

Hey guys just an update I also did a muffler delete sounds much better!

Start up - YouTube This is the start up.
Inside - YouTube This is with the windows down still not warmed up gets louder once its warm.
Warned up - YouTube This is warmed up and a rev to about 3k Also shows where the muffler was removed and pipe sectioned in. There is a resonator towards the front if you want louder take this out also. I did not yet wanted to see how it would be before I did that didnt want it screaming when I was going down highway I can do 80 down the highway and it is louder and I think sounds good and I can still have a convo inside no trouble at all. I may remove resonator yet but wanted to try this till spring at least also this being removed was $30 bucks removed bent and welded... so super cheap mod deff feel a diff in pep nothing life changing but feels better also you can hear the turbo under load if you get on it.

Love the HID. Do you have any issues with flickering or day time running light?
