Default My new an ep3 with a nice touch.

Ok so here is my new (to me) ep3. Here are the current mods.
JRSC-R 9psi- tuned by me
Comptech Icebox
Megan Midpipe
ESMM
HPF springs
K-Pro
Type-R wing.
not a bad start, but there will be more to come. Do yall think i could see some gains with an axel back to mate with the mid pipe? Better pics to come.

So not the real question, Can I be in the ep squad?

What did you end up getting the price down to? Such a great deal anyways if you didn't. Hope you're a regular.

No smoke at any rpm and for what he was selling with it, it was hard to go wrong.

You cant buy just a mugen midpipe first of all...and second if it is a mugen midpipe it wont bolt up to the stock axle back without modding the midpipe or the axle back flange...but you could gain some power possibly who knows maybe 2-5 HP? if that

The OEM EP3 muffler flows just as good as any aftermarket piece; It would be silly to replace it.

Search the archives...there is dyno evidence of this.

Yea i agree, I'm going to keep the stock muffler. I really don't want another loud exhaust when this one is so smooth. I kinda worried about droping it more just b/c of steering creak. It has not started yet, but i hear once you drop them any more the the hfp springs that are on there it will happen soon after.

Total sleeper there, but I'd lower it a bit more.
