Anyone of ya'll running the HKS style exhaust with or without test pipes/high flow cats? What is the sound volume like in car? I've watched tha YouTubez, but my crappy speakers on my lap top don't really give it any feel of what I would expect. Doesn't matter if it is a real deal HKS or one of the knock offs, I'm probably gonna hack it up for an X pipe.

I don't mind the volume of my redneck racing exhaust, but the fact that the volume occurs directly below my seat is killer. That, and the ungodly loss of anything representing low end is equally pissing me off.

$60 for a tank of gas. This is getting ridiculous and it's probably only going to get worse.

Ouch I paid $3.69 last night which from what I saw seems to be the going rate for premium around Dallas. I saw a couple of places that had premium for $3.71 but not no 4 bucks lol

Bad news: Engines been making an off humming sound for the past couple days and today when I got home some green liquid was leaking. I open the hood and the coolant liquid or something was overflowing (whatever is at the front left). What should I do or what do I need to get?

Could be air bubbles in the radiator fluid, thermostat issue, blown head gasket, etc. I've read of so many issues when people have overflowing coolant.

Isn't that the power steering fluid ? Jakes was bubbling at the AutoX last weekend. Don't know if it was green tho.

BearJew, actually, right now while your car is barely modded is a perfect time to get a Dyno to see what numbers you will put down. This way anything after you do and the next mods will be able to show your HP increases if any ? Basically....you need a base to start at....mine as well be now.

I made the mistake of never getting a Dyno before I started buying my Mods & I wish I would have something to compare it to.

Yeah filthamoto that sounds like a pretty good idea! I'm going to a friend of mine so he can check out what's wrong with my car and hopefully it's a quick cheap fix. My car is totally stock right now except for a few very minor mods that don't affect performance at all so I'll take your advice and come stock that day
