Default Know Your Exhaust

Why do people keep insisting on telling me that they have a downpipe-back exhaust system????.......or that they're going to buy some new downpipes??? Also I keep seeing vendors and people trying to sell testpipes advertised as "downpipes"..... Please know about exhaust systems, and then your car before you start buying exhaust parts for it.


Dude my next mod, is to get some wastegates for my NA downpipes. FREAKING YEA!!!



Rant over. Thanks!

I'll have to check it out. I like the JDM version of the HKS. Its like over two grand though. Its redic. One of the nicest maybe is the Kakimoto single. That jam is awesome! hahaha I was looking at it before I ordered the GReddy, and I just couldnt pass up the deal I got on it.

The ISIS is damn near the same specs as the Hi power HKS it half the price though lol. Everything I have seen ISIS is always cheaper but I have yet to see or hear anything bad about thier stuff.

I guess some companies do it right for less...

Well a lot of price comes from the name....just like Honda and Hyundai. Like their cars are basically the same...ones just been around a little over 30 years, and the other has been around for about 15 years....They're coming around though. That new Genesis is pretty sick, and their commercial for it is even sicker

Im thinking Hotchkis sways and the Endlinks that Z1 has. I need to decide on camber kit and I am leaning towards either bilsteins or KWV3 for coilovers. I have heard that evoR front arms are the best and powergrid are best for rear soo I am going to look into it... I want to just go ahead and do it all at once and do it right.

It looks like this COULD have potential to become the New Girl Rockville Thread aka the MidA BS thread.

Yea why was that deleted BTW?? My post count also dropped significantly??? Im guessing it deleted my posts in there...

Any reason why you want to go with cusco?? I havent seen a ton of information/reviews on them.

Also cusco makes sways???

yeup yeup, they make sways, front and rear. I don't know I guess I just see them as a reputable and reliable brand. A lot of their product gets high rated reviews in Japan.


The Rockville thread got locked and deleted because of all the BS that was going on in there. Tina told on us And some people were saying some VERY out of place things, like choking people and what not....anyways back to topic...Im about to go cut a little piece out of my Cusco strut bar so it will fit around my edfc and I can put it back on again! WOOHOO!
