The sidemarkers now look really yellow, so I swapped the bulb to APC bulbs

Speed Limiter
The GXEs are speed limited to 118mph - to remove the limiter you can perform Ben Garner's ECU Mod. I did this with a switch so it doesn't trip the Check Engine Light, and I can just disable the limiter when I need to.

Replace stock shift knob
I had to cut 2" off the stock shifter to make this new shift knob sit at the correct height. It's an imitation Momo race air leather.

I just had my factory Y-pipe with 2 pre cats. replaced for custom y-pipe and now the rear muffler has started to make extra sound, what you say, also do you suggest to use y.pipe gasket(round like big ring) as original. The one I have now lets some gases into the cabin of car even. Cause I used used B class part, it was cheaper and I could not get original part, does it also increases the noise. It s kind too noisy all together now, especially the rear muffler, it was quieter with original y-pipe. Do I have to get original gaskets and does it make better to replace the back muffler also? I should need to get it it less noisy.
