Lee a couple of questions for you. I just ordered my Greddy Ti but I need to know if it fits up to stock cat without any problems and what you did about pluging up the o2 sensor hole? I might just get the UR 3" test pipe.

I wish people got more involved, but there is no sense in just throwing money away.

I want these badboys to look mean and kinda wide but not to the point where Ill have issues on turning and rubbing. Any info you guys can give me would be great! I have the cusco zero 2's coilovers but not installed yet, just havent had time yet.
my rims are 18x9 w/a 245 tire. I do hear rubbing very seldom. Not as much as you would think. My car is lowered on s-techs though so that makes a difference.

I would suggest a 17x8.5 or 17x9. I do love the width of my tires. Very noticible by others. Leaves a good footprint.

As for tire brand Yoko Neova or Advan sport are pretty ****. Depending on how much driving you do the RA-1's are awesome too!

225's though?! That's smaller than stock. Maybe if you're doing crazy highway runs I could understand why you would want a lil thinner.

I did a full turbo-back before the jdm bumper install. WORKS 3" dp, LaBree Motorsports 3" hi-flow cat, and the GReddy Ti. A little bit of an adjustment was made for the bumper and it still doesn't quite clear it correctly. The muffler canister barely touches the diffuser and pushes it out ever so slightly where the can is. It isn't even noticeable really. I've decided not to trim the diffuser. I'm letting it melt a little bit to form to the shape of the exhaust. I'll show you what the hell I'm talking about at a meet sometime. It could just be my setup. Maybe the flanges are a bit thicker on my cat and it pushes the catback out a bit more. I don't know. If it was a 1/2" shorter, it would clear with no issues.

cool I got a great price on the catback so I couldn't refuse. Are you planning on going to this weeks meet?

when I was running my last set up I had no rubbing problems. 255/35's with a 18x9.5" wheel. I was on Tanabe GF210's which is about 1/2 less of a drop up front compared to Tein-S

Yeah, that was most likely me. I live in Seven Hills. I'm always cruisin' around to feed my face and what not. The side markers are just unplugged and the wiring harnesses tucked away and zip-tied in the jdm setup. I had mentioned earlier that the bumper itself is a cake install. The license plate frame and lighting assembly requires a little imagination to mount the plate. I'm picky. I didn't want the plate hanging below the ridge on the diffuser section. It took probably twice as long to do the plate **** than installing the entire bumper. A buddy and I just followed jbigelow's how-to. It can be found here.
