updates on the tortoise that beat the hare (56k OK!)
so last week i recieved a shipment from mister ups man. he delievered to me my apexi gt spec that i bought from vtec23 
last night i got to test my new toy. a green eg hatch decided to bust a U-turn and follow me onto a 2 lane highway that was pretty clear of traffic. so i said why not. the gt spec is made for high end power right? long story short, i pulled the top of 3rd and took a car length into 4. i'm sure he had b16 or b18. he kept up on the start pretty well.
the exhaust is great. nice rumbling sound and you can actually feel the gains. it's rattling a bit. i'm guessin it's shaking so much and it's hitting my heat shield. looks like i'm gonna have to either take the heat shield off or bend it up. or cut it. lol. something to stop the rattling, cause it's annoying. this exhaust is quite loud as well. but i'll get use to it.
anyways, here are some pics. enjoy!
the whip, no paint on the lip. black is jdm y0
SS piping
my turbo n1 canister with the 3inch inlet for when i got f/i and get some bronze wheels. wooo! got this from eli_vang
comparison. gt spec is a fatter canister and shorter. same size tip. 4.5inches
so what else is new? hmmmm. here are some sneak peeks....
the blue lip is the plastic wrapping.
these too!! my shoe fund and car fund are intermixing and interfering with each other. lol one weekend's pick up
edit: add rim pics.
