congrats, i just got me a 04 ralliart, 56k miles for 8g's.

 

awesome....gonna put up any pics?

 

So I took my car into Midas today. The guy's there are awesome. They took me out to the bay and let me ask a bunch of questions and show me a bunch of stuff.

The car has a cat exhaust but I need a new muffler to pass MVI. It has an aftermarket header and, the intake, the strut bar, a stiffer aftermarket suspension and we found out the wire coming from the fuse box hooks to an alarm. The guy figured the button inside was most likely for some kind of lighting, but something's been cut out of the engine (as you can see zip tied to the strut bar) i dunno what.

 

Yeah I figured it was underglow or something. Looks like it's up to you to unrice it.

 

Sorry to rain on your parade bro but the front red strut bar is stock, as is the header. It's just missing the heat sheild.What color are the springs? We can probably tell you what company they are.

 

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but what is up with the missing down-pipe heat-shield? I've seen quite a few cars with that missing, do people just not like them or something?

 

? I dint know why either , I like the style with it. I polished mine at first but have since painted it black and dremeled the vent holes to be larger.

 

i also just got mine about a month ago....i love the dmn thing it jus gets me terrible gas mileage....

got it for 3500$ 78k miles R/S title, bad bad bad

 

yeah the gas mileage isn't so great lol. and it doesnt help that i tend to gun it any and every chance i get. anyways dang bro less than 4g's!! im hurt

 

hell yea man tell me about it, only bad is its auto aaaaahahhhhhhh i need a 5 speed so bad

 

just looked at the springs the other day while under there looking at my muffler. The rear springs are black. couldn't see the front but i assume it's the same.

 

im guessig they are probably stock, if u want a muffler go to performance peddler.com and get magnaflow part #14829 its a perfect fit u just need clamps. i have it on my ralliart but to be honest its a little quiet if i could do it again i would get borla but 14829 is only 120$ ill also sell u my cai if ur intrested just pm its aem

 

I need a CAI, as my factory snorkel is missing...

 

well, my car is lowered, so it wouldn't be stock unless he chopped them. I have a muffler that I'm putting on. It had to come off to pass mvi but now that it's passed MVI, i'll put it back on. When the shop put the new muffler on, they welded it to fit the hangar better so i'll need to cut it. it's gonna be a hassle cause my dremel isn't very powerful and that's all i have. and thanks, but I have an SRI already.

 

autos are good too man!
