Ah that makes more sense. I have had cars with ETS stuff and some had the parts on for a very long time and never any issues. There will always be people wanting to jump on a bandwagon and start drama. Unless it has happened to me or has happened to someone I know personally and seen it for my own eyes that crap goes right in one ear and out the other. You just cant get wrapped up into everything you hear on the internet. Now send some snow this way

Oh yeah...remember you posting stuff about the 1g now...I am switching back to a recirc setup from my Tial Q as well...I just picked myself up a used Synapse on here for a good price...my driveability with the stock maf & tial Q was terribleeeee....

Never Portland. Lots of Cali, Vegas, Arizona, Montana, and everywhere else but never Oregon. In fact I've been just about everywhere and never ever even been in Oregon. I so badly want to take a trip out there and visit there and Washington. I hear its amazing....

06MREvo-Yeah its not working out so well for me either. I thought I would be ok on SD so I left everything alone but the evo Gods just said not happening. So now I am forced to switch everything over

Spare MR guages arrive tomorrow so I can get that sorted out. I've got one guage not working because the previous owner decided to lose the plug for the oil temp. So I bought a complete set of guages and harness.

Cant wait for the ETS piping to arrive on Friday. The old upper is already off and sold. So should be a quick transition. They are gonna look so good powder coated flat black. ETS really hooked me up with quick service, powder coating, multiple black couplers, etc... Gone finish a few loose ends and possibly retune on Monday. I'm trying to dial in the drivability. I need to look at a few things and make some changes but am confident I have narrowed it down. Cabt wait....


WOW he is getting big!!!!!!! What are you feeding him??

Getting excited, headed to Orlando this weekend to hang out with some friends. Taking the evo and will do some road tuning hopefully. I've got a complete line of AMSOIL coming tomorrow so I will do a complete swap of oils too. ETS stuff arrives tomorrow so hopefully the car will be the way I want it by Monday. Even ordered a spare set of MR guages so I can get mine working. Only needed one plug but had to find someone who was selling everything. At least the car will be back to the way its suppose to be. Pics to follow...

The problem was with ETS's older piping which was made from mild steel which caused the piping to rust internally. They've since changed their entire piping lineup and only offer them in stainless steel & recently started doing titanium.

Well the ETS pipes arrived as promised. My aluminum jack blew a seal though so I had to go buy a new jack. Long story actually. Anyways as soon as Austin goes to sleep I will resume the install. The pipes are powdercoated flat black and are gorgeous.

AMSOIL also overnighted me a bunch of oils. Going with the dominator oil for the Green and all the other good stuff. Gonna swap the fluids over in Orlando but just finishing this stuff up. Im impressed with the pipes though. I will snap pics as soon as I can... I like the stealthy black look better than the polished look
