so the balt's been off the road for 2 weeks now with a busted axle. still waiting for one part to come in from the stealership. driver side axle in, half shaft out and ready for the new mount, trans mounts in, hmmmm what else can I do? oh I know! get those darn css.net members to shut up about my exhaust!

try this on for size:


high temp flat black. whadda ya think?

 

its still huge...

 

I knowww I didn't feel like tucking it away more, I still want to though. just requires me to cut and weld more. big pita.

 

cool taillight covers tho...

whered you get them?

 

Holy 3" stick-out Batman!

I have seen better, and I have DEFINATELY seen worse.... It's your car man. Do as you please.

 

jbodyperformance.com the fitment isn't all that great, but I made them work.

lol yeah it's a huuuge can. I really need to tuck it away.

 

I personally don't like it, but you're the one that drives it. So don't let other people get to you, it's not their car, so why should they care?

 

I don't like my exhaust either! it's too comical.

 

Tuck that bitch away.

 

lol, looks like my friends old 240sx...

 

its reli not the same car w/o the outmount turbo or excuse the size of ur new born

 

that's what I was going for originally lol

d the freakin' thing is huge! it's gotta go shut up!

 

u should paint the tip like a high temp gold

 

rofl I was thinking that it'd be way too much man. apexi makes the same muffler in gold!

 

still don't like it but the black definately makes it look better than before.

and ill be the first one to say in this thread that your wheels look ******* ****! i love them!

 

i normally dont like the avs covers, but they look good since your car is black.... the muffler is huge, but its not so bad since its black and your car is black... kinda murdered out theme, so its not so obnoxious as the same style but stainless.. its coming around.. i guess haha...

fwiw i went through two axles and two stock motor mounts from accelerating hard with my H&R springs... the motor mount would snap, and when the motor dropped, the angle was probably worse than your cut spring setup, causing the axles to rip out. I got OTTP rotated mounts, and the TTR solid mount; new axle, axle bearing and midshaft was replaced by dealer thank god... havent had a problem since and the feeling of the motor is great!

 

he beat me to it, great job on the wheels

 

thank you! I did them myself so it's much appreciated.

I hear you on the midshaft/bearing/axles thing. I am going through that right now and it's expensive! I worked up a 700 dollar bill from that darn pot hole although I did go with mostly aftermarket.

as for the silly muffler, we'll get this thing tucked up tomorrow when i finish up my passenger side axle and halfshaft

 

great minds think alike.

 

dont wanna be that guy but i disagree...

I like the stealth black muffler but not feeling the gold rims at all

 

it's cool man! you're not being that guy for having an opinion.

 

I have been thinking about painting my rims gold or a dark bronze like a wrx and your wheels look sick. Did you use a gun or a can? If so what color?

 

dude u should of

 

not a fan of the exhaust sticking out
but those rims are sex dude good job on them

 

rustoleum rattle can. the whole thing costed me 20 bucks minus the tools and sand paper. it was simple. with a 5 inch orbital sander I used 100 grit to take down the powder coat/curb rash, 220 to make it smooth, primer, a few thin coats of gold, wet sand with 600, a final coat of gold, 2 decent coats of rattle can clear coat and there ya go.
