Nice Peter. Can't wait to read some write ups on more mods in the magazine.

Taxes here in California are WAY TOO HIGH. You can't win for losing.

He will play hell getting that thing smogged here in California with that nice shiny non smog legal manifold on there. Don't get me wrong it looks good but the smog police won't buy it.

dont worry man he over payed for what he got, you can get the same performance or more for around $700. i actually have the tomei o2 and dp combo, they look nice and perform well but its not a full 3" system. if your willing to paint your bumper u can get a jdm 9 in white for $550.

nice car and everything looks really good! get an intercooler and some tomei cams for the next round of mods and you'll have a fun car.

You can buy the Tomei exhaust for $975.00 from Evasive.
http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm..._Code=TOMEI-EX

Tomei offers both USDM and JDM versions of the exhaust so if you want to keep your USDM bumper you can and the exhaust will fit properly.

Yes that's right. Here's the video for anyone else who is interested in the exhaust.

That's something a guy from Florida would say If your thinking that way then I should have bought a bunch of tin cans and just welded them together and had an exhaust system for the price of 20 bucks.
Like I said, I choose parts because of their quality not price necessarily. I've made the mistake too many times buying on price point and it's bitten me in the ***.

"That's something a guy from Florida would say "

i really hope you dont think your more classy because you live in LA LOL! id rather live here in fl with my 93 octane and e85 oh and no smog or smog testing. lower taxes too and there arent nearly as many gold diggers in Florida.

im not really gonna argue with you about your choice, the ebay $150 stainless turbo back with a magnaflow has been proven to outflow and make more hp then most of those high end japanese turbo backs. i have no idea if yours makes more power but id rather spend my money to make my car faster, not bling it out. but maybe thats why your out in California going slow and im down here in Florida going much faster
