Hey quick question guys, how the crap do you remove the sound deading pannels? I took the back seats out of the car the other week to take the dogs down to MD. It seems like there's some decent weight in those pannels, but they almost look like they have to be cut out. Is it really worth the weight to remove them?

let me say, if you don't like the sound of a pop can being pelted with rocks all the time don't do it! Its amazing how much those things work. lol. Now if you want to save weight there are plenty of other places to do it.

haha, I can really see that, even the seats cover noise pretty well. Any other suggestions then for weight conservation (rear passengers be damned)?

Hey, do any locals have an extra HKS RS intake filter? Just the foam. I used to have a whole stack, but slowly used them all up. I went to change mine the other day and I didn't have any left. I'm over the 5,000 mile mark on the current one and it's kind of dirty. I ordered a few, but usually they take like 2 weeks to get. Anyone have a spare I could buy or borrow until I get mine?

Why can't we get something together like this??? In the middle of winter at that! Chicago is big, but it's not THAT big.

I was actually looking for something like this. I just have to make sure the filter cone will still fit. I'm not sure it will.
