Congrats!

You might want to change your signature. '08 came in Silver Alloy (K23). '03-'05 came in Chrome Silver (KY0). Unless you still feel partial to the DE lineup.

Man, I like them both... but a 6sp manual is the way to go.

What difference can you feel with a new differential? Changes in straight line/launch power, or more wheel grip etc on turns?

I have a base Z (comes with open diff/aka One tire fryer) and I swapped the VLSD in there for cheap and to answer your questions....... YES. to all. I cant wait till i get a REAL diff because the VLSD was so much better over open diff garbagio..

not a huge fan of single exhausts, but my buddy had one for sale and he cut me a deal on the y pipe and exhaust.. plus the exhaust i really wanted is on back order. so this will be my intake/exhaust set up, at least for a while!

Stillen Dual Gen2 Intakes
Berk Hi Flow Cats
Stillen Y Pipe
Megan Racing Drift-spec Exhaust
