    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    I'm in my office most days M-F from 8:30 to 3:30. Shoot me a message and we can exchange info to figure out a time. I'll be back in town next week.

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    I wish I could hear a Thermal in person to get a comparison because I don't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction but I feel like the AWE is pretty mild but sounds good. You know you're getting on it when you do, but normal driving is very pleasant. I spend a lot of time in my car and a...

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    No downpipes. Only engine mod is the intercooler.

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    I just installed the AWE on mine. Love the way it sounds. Great low rumble, no drone and not loud at all in the cabin but you know its there. Not super aggresive but a great sound. And great quality all the way through all of the components. My office is in San Mateo if any local members want...

    Ladies and Gentlemen. Post your wheels please.

    How are you liking the Proxes ST3's? I run the same tire (285's) and love how they handle in heavy rain but am finding them to be real noisy. Are yours noisy as well?

    3" Thermal vs. AWE?

    I ordered the AWE a little over 2 weeks ago. Waiting for it to ship so I can get it installed!

    WolfBox G900 Smart Mirror

    There is the option of replacing the stock mirror also which I think would look cleaner.

    WolfBox G900 Smart Mirror

    Is anyone running one of these? Does anyone know how much electronics are tied to the rearview mirror in the ST? From looking at it, the only thing I see is the sensor for dimming the mirror but I am not sure. I won one of these in a raffle Monday and am thinking about installing it.

    Stock Muffler Construction?

    I will try and get a sound clip today of a start up. However I am not great at this kind of stuff but will give it a shot. The mufflers do sound great but I must admit that after break in they have gotten a lot louder inside the vehicle on pulls up hills, acceleration, etc. I like it but it may...

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    I will check those out too. Still a slip on though and would need to replace the studs I think. The Bora bolt on spacers start at 19mm from what I can tell on their website. I will call them tomorrow.

    CVFab Downpipes

    My exhaust guy in NorCal will go rogue at times and he told me no when I asked him about this.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    Ok. Definitely changing to longer studs then. And you were right, pretty much right up against strut body. About a 1/4" away.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    So following up on my own rude awakening.....this is the label on my boxes from my wheels. Yeah, I'm a dumb dumb...never even noticed this until now. The real bummer is that my receipt from when the rims were ordered shows +25 as the offset. So.....has anyone run the H&R Trak+ spacers? I am...

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    I'm not crazy about how short the tips are on the Thermal exhaust. No that it matters but it doesn't look right to me. Personal preference I guess.

    UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

    I plan on putting the AWE exhaust on mine soon too. What has you leaning towards that exhaust versus the others? Always value your opinion on this stuff so I am curious.

    Going to look for this next time I rotate them.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    That's probably not good if I want to run a 305 tire next time around. I need to get underneath this thing and check clearances.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    These are Verde Incise wheels. I still have the boxes for these in my shop. I need to check them. I thought they said +25. So these are probably +35? Verde does a +25, +35 and +45 in this wheel. Would love to sound more confident and educated in all of this but I had my tire shop order and...

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    Mine is a +25 offset on a 10.5" wheel with 285 tires. I'm going to run 305's next time around and I think I'll be fine.

    Accel/Decel "Rumble"

    I would say flex pipes too. I am having the same issue at 1100 - 1300 rpms. Put my car up on a lift and set the RPM's at 1200 and ran a video and then a video at idle. You can definitely see the vibration at the flex pipe on the drivers side. I've also had the the pipe break at the converter. I...
