Soon. It will involve much glitter, baby oil and glowsticks.

It will be cool. I promise you a photoshoot before the end of summer.

Finally got a 10 second pass in the GTR! Side by side with Emery in the RS:





LOL! Great time! We also took home second and third in the True Street class.


But once the fun was over, we came home Monday to this brand new HKS Legamax Exhaust.





We had to take off the 3" STM Y-Pipe and replace it with a new 3.5" STM Pipe.





Still all dirty from the trip!




And all cleaned and installed!













Sounds great! Once I can give it another bath, I will get some more shots!

The underbody looks amazing, the 2013 model makes 466lbs-ft torque, they probably under rate the motor.

technically they didn't have to purchase a GTR to make parts for it, they chose to purchase one for themselves. Most companies will have a customer come in with one , work out a deal to make a mid pipe , then make the jig for it and offer the first one for little or nothing for letting them build a part of the car " test car's " .

I am not taking anything away from them , the quality looks amazing . But i couldn't justify spending $1000 on a STM mid pipe when other mid pipes (HKS , AAM , CBRD ) are less . The mark up (GTR tax) is insane on the GTR . End of rant ..


STM very clean and cant wait to see what else you have in sight for it .
