didnt use any :-X only thing i can really is..

connect the brackets while the car is on the ground then lift the car and connect the bar... for obvious reasons.

How much did the sway bars help i honestly think I dont need any more suspension work.. whats ur input on those?

Sway bars are definately a must. Without a doubt. Huge difference in handling.

THanks for the tips. I figure its not going to be hard, but I knew there was something different I needed to do since its adjustable.

One more thing, considering that its "adjustable" what is there to adjust? Softer? Stiffer? And how?

Soft: dont put it on
med: Put bar on with car on ground
Stiff: Put on bar with car in air.

Default Exaust

Cancel that last question. I thought the valve cover was silver only. It's already black with silver letters. Duh!

Your exaust sounds awesome by the way!

Anyways, I was wondering where did you purchase the exhaust from and how much does it cost?

First of all thank you, I got a very good deal on everything.

As for the resonator, its just a generic one. No baffles or anything just on the top it has the circles lol? Im no UTI all i know is if i would of went straight pipe it would of been way to raspy.

I'm really afraid to go headers now because I think its perfect sooo next mods are

Almost in this order:
-System
-Rims (waiting for tires to wear out)
-Short Shifter
-Tint
-Pulley


And from there I dont know just yet. depends what deals I got.

Dude thanks for getting the chance to answer my exhaust question, Car realie does sound good and def a great tone. Def glad all mod;s worked out and always good to hear you got them for good deals. Good luck with the whip and any new mod's done def post once done!!

any time, and yes it really did. It has a deep sound from about 2500-4000.. After that Intake blends in if im in it..

If im not in it.. I shift before 4k.

Buddy at my work has 2 1/4" pipe cat back to muffler so no resonator on his first gen. Sounds to raspy for me. Resonator is a must. (unless turbo! gurgle gurgle)

HKS Axle back. Um I bought it fairly used for about 100$..

Also I took out the scuba stock resonator and replaced with a generic 12" at a Local shop down here that I always go to.

And thanks

Axle back and a resonator is still in place, no modifications were made to any sensors. I only got to change out intake when i do smog(depending on if the guy is a dick).

I always go first how my car is cause most of the guys are nice out there. As in they will let any visual pass. As long as your cars not throwing Engine lights.

Edit: Just so I don't have to make another post: I'm off to bed Hospital has me working weekends stupid short staff. I'll get back to Over night posts in the morning. Night guys

lol, I have X-runner rims that Im painting black. The tires on them right now are way to wide for me to try to fit them. Waiting for the tires on these to wear out before I go and spend the money for some new tires.
