thanks ryan. i'm really excited about it. Between the aggressive cams and the exedy clutch, it was getting old trying to drive in traffic everyday. I'm so stoked about it. I just wish I could have bought something before the whole front of the Evo got chewed up.

Just the usual big paint chips missing from the hood and the front bumper feels like a cheese grater.

anyone know the best place to get them on here? chu, im sending you a pm if you dont mind i got one other question.

anyone heading to atco tomorrow night?
I've got a second set sitting that I am not using if you're interested. If so you can just take them. I honestly have no idea what they are, guy I got the wheels from had em and just passed them on to me.
I'm rocking Pproject Kics instead Little dudes are sweet!!

If you're interested shoot me a pm and I'll try and send a pic or whatever you need.

Jeff your COBB seems to do a decent job, IDk if it will work woth my exhaust though.
Pete,

Got a brand spanking new Mil-spec 3" sitting next to me at the moment still in the box. I purchased it with the same thought in mind as you, trying to unsmog the world. That is of course until I heard it start up the first time at 4am wide open and unrestricted Def no future for this thing on my car. Let me know if you're interested.

I think I'm about ready to do the opposite . I'm looking to take off my hi-flow cat and put on a test pipe with a BR bullet welded in. I think a test pipe will be a little too loud for my tastes so a second bullet muffler will do the trick.

You could also try the vibrant ultra quiet resonator. I was gonna use that before getting my current exhasut.

Nice pick-up Jim. Now you need to get a car cover so she's not exposed to the elements as much.

Doug, is that the 100 or 150cell you got over there. I was looking at the 100 so I could still have the most possible flow. Let me know what you got. If you want to pm me a number that would be cool too.

if anyone else is looking for a DD, my neighbor is selling a 3-4 year old altima with like 30k-40k miles for like 5k.

this new commute to work is ridiculous. i take 30 to 202 to 76. it is a whole different culture on those roads than 476 and 95. i don't feel like i am driving anywhere but more like i'm in a parade or something.

on our cruise on sunday, that was the most i've heard my turbo spool in one sitting. very sad if you think about it.

Hahah, I'm now rocking a discontinued Thermal Research & Development exhaust. It sounds very sporty, and only a bit louder than the Cobbs, but thats because Cobb has a resonator and a huge rear section.

Dan, maybe you should pick up that altima. Man I wish I could afford a DD.
