Downpipe & Exhaust ON... and glorious
about a month ago i was bored and broke, so i decided to put it on myself with a buddy. 4.5 hours, 2 jack stands, a healthy vocabulary of foul language and hopes of not soundin like a rice rocket... BOOM done. no fitment issues, no rattles, NO CAT! Its got a nice deep throaty sound and it screams all the way up to 5,600 rpm. The tip sticks out a bit farther than i would like but im broke and dont have a welder so it will wait. Either way i enjoy the new sound and definatly the power you can feel.
Got some new tires put on it as well last week. some cooper zeon sport a/s. i go with the top notch all seasons cause they are much better in the rain than most extreme summers (AKA i cant afford the crazy shit)
