I'm also working on assembling the motor here and there (depends on my mood and how my back feels)

Yeah it sucks finding motivation when your back hurts. Scoliosis ftl.

Sold my RS*R Exmag muffler section, still have the rest of the catback in the garage. Sold my Mugen header. My engine and exhaust is totally stock now, right down to an OEM exhaust tip. And I have more money for tuition this semester.

I want 2 things: better OEM wheels (blades maybe) and my minor rust fixed. And if anyone has a Right-hand USDM outer taillight let me know. Mine collects water.

Question: is a SiR exhaust/muffler any different than an EH2/EH3? (As in flow characteristics).

Are GSR rear sways good? Also from what I've heard, theyre identical, EH3/Sir have the silver tip while EH2 dont have that silver tip.

I think it looks good as is, no shave/tuck needed. When a boosted bay is all business, form follows function. My EK bay is the exact opposite of my EG bay and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Very minor tuck since I'm keeping AC and PS with my K swap. I'll be tucking harnesses and lines/hoses, and no shaving.
