A LOT more to go hahaha.

Planning to sell my Tanabe axle back to a friend and use the cash for a straight pipe.. I like the stealthy look and clearance since I plan on going closer to the earth haha. Just want to see how I should go about it. Any help or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks to Phil for some help already! Haha.

Yea man straight pipe is the way to go

just go 2.0-2.5 depending on your plans, delete both resonators and the cat if they will let you, in Cali you will HAVE to have a CA DOT approved hi flo cat though or youll be fined im sure. Just make sure since youre going straight pipe, that you put a nice muffler in the rear that doesnt restrict but that gives you a nicer deeper tone.

Yeah man I definitely want to keep the cat. I just want to make sure it sounds nice and has clearance haha. I'll definitely keep this in mind though!

Wow that sounds pretty good for a straight pipe from the axle back! I thought a straight pipe from the axle back would sound raspy.

It sounds raspy at 6k on the downshift!


otherwise a nice low roll.

Definitely will add a muffler if I decide to go through with this! Thanks for the help as usual Phil haha.

Hahaha as you requested Sugi! Here are some pics I just took today. Filter free, just washed her yesterday. Will definitely be going lower soon. I already removed the locks in the rear, I will try and remove the perches next and see how much lower to the earth I can get even with these fat tires If the rear happens to drop lower than the front, I will just lower the front more I just want to get rid of any raking I may have. Damn, just got an alignment too haha. Might have to throw the camber bolts in the front too. No fenders have been rolled yet either. Really gotta get to that. Guess the front tires are just shaping my fenders for me for now lol. I just trimmed the fender liner but soon I will be taking the whole thing out. The way the car sits right now I get only a little bit of rubbing in the front. On uneven roads, bumps, etc. So hopefully once I try and go lower I can roll the fenders and not have too much rubbing.

I love it!
Too bad streets here are horrible for coil-overs since they are so stiff :/

Definitely interested in your results. Stock resonator back straight pipe with stock pipe sizing isn't deep enough. I want that nice deep rumble at warmed up idle. Least I don't have droning at highway.

Yeah I definitely have some hw to do before I go through with this. Hopefully soon I'll find out what I want.
