My supercharger is lacking a bypass valve for the supercharger. Be on the lookout for one!!!

 

For anyone running a tsudo exhaust on their 2.2, does it hang uncomfortably low? I'm debating on buying one of those ebay N1 style that are pretty much the same system and comparing them. I bought the tsudo for 250 and these ebay ones are half the price. I wouldn't be shocked if these ebay ones hug the body perfectly unlike the tsudo should.

 

Out of box and by experience, the MagnaFlow is high and snug to the body with adequate bumper clearance. Be advised that the plumbing is only 2 1/4. My ark is low, and the flange scrapes sometimes, but I love the sound.

 

What pulley you got?

2.25 is gonna be big enough

 

Yeah, figured I'd add that since I didn't know what size he was looking to go with.

 

Never measured my pulley since I got it haha. Will do this week!

My tsudo is 2.36". I love the sound, but walking towards the car and seeing an elbow ready to scrape makes me cringe. I plan on lowering so that'll hide it, but make it more vulnerable.

 

I'm on yyz and in the winter the car is the lowest of all year due to my tires. I have no issues of pipe scraping, but the resonator flange to the downpipe likes to make a scrape every once in a while, though my sway bar is the lowest point of the car underneath.

 

Well that's good to hear! What sway bar?

 

Ottp hardcore. It's still scrape free except for the rust because north winter.

 

They are attached to the axle beam so they won't get any closer to the road no matter what, it would only scrape if you drove over a large rock

 

True. It raises when the tires go over bumps.

 

Would you recommend buying one?

 

For the money, yes. It's virtually the same design as the Powell bar. It is bolt and play. I am happy with my purchase, and it's been on for 3 years now.

 

Is the bar noticeable from behind? I'm planning on getting one and powdering it yellow

 

Mine is black. Yes it is noticeable. From the side and the back.

 

Cool, that'll be one of my next purchases. I still need alot for my build tho

 

I got a red sway bar and its quite noticeable. People have commented on it and it looks pretty sweet. huge difference in handling too!

 

One of my most hated traits about the LS, body roll.

 

helps get rid of understeer too

 

Mine will be pretty much maxed out after I get the control arms rebuilt and the rear trailing arm bushings. Then I'll build the motor. Still on the fence on hub swap and brakes.

 

you got fe5 suspension minus the yyz?

 

I have all fe5 on the car right now with yyz minus the control arms. I'm working on replacing all bushings and ball joints in some fe5 control arms right now.

 

I was kicking around the idea of a 5 lug swap. I'm pretty fond of those g6 wheels.

 

A member a long time ago had them
Looked pretty good.
