Here are some stockies that ive prepped, primered, painted, and sealed a light gloss black.




I think i need to raise the front JUST a TAD, its lowered on tein RA's

and I also have two questions. One: is it bad to run my car like this? IT sounds so much better and MAYBE better throttle response, but looks pretty ghetto. Other than cosmetics, are there any mechanical disadvantages to running my car liike this?



Final question. What are the expected power gains of just a test pipe. I have stock exhaust and am wondering if it will be even worth it while I budget for a good titanium single exit exhaust

Thanks

 

The Rio/black combo looks pretty good. They DO recommend AGAINST running an open element filter on the stock elbow, since it sits behind the radiator and sucks hot air. It even lost power on the dyno. Get an intake that puts the filter further to the left, behind the headlight if possible. Also, you could trim off that divider in the airbox, but put the cover back on. Running a test pipe on the stock exhaust is fine, I guess, but you won't see any real gainst, just better response.

 

looks good to me...

 

put the lid back on the intake box and leave the divider (dont' trim it) it's there for a reason... to keep you filter clean and to prevent any possible water to reach that far into the box.....

there have been picture of little animals getting sucked up into the air box...
