I bought that godspeed catback off of g35 (385 shipped) and a set of headlights, 445 shipped. I was kind of scared about the exhaust's sound, but after bolting it up, it's nice! The sound is nice and throaty, it sounds a bit ricer on youtube vids. No leaks, and I used a lift but it didn't take long at all. I'd say 2 hours or so if you do it on the ground. The headlights are nice, I need to see if I can fix the alignment, they're a little off but still give off the needed light. I had some trouble wiring it up, the black and red wires that are for the halo, which I tapped into my side markers gave me some trouble. The problem was I had to connect red to black, I was trying to match colors the first time. But yeah, everything is in working order, good fitment and everything. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in on ebay parts, they get hated on a lot by people who never tried them out. I'll update thread if I have any problems.

OH! And the power gains. the ad claims 15 hp boost and if you include weight difference it's 20 I think? I'd believe 15, my dad agrees. It makes changes the power curve a bit too. I guess because it's true dual as apposed to the stock single tube down the middle, it breathes happily. The power difference was very noticeable (keeping in mind it's just a catback swap)


it was really bright out when I took the pictures and it seems the halos get a little brighter with time, so they're not lit up that well in those 2

 

picture of headlights installed?

 

I have a dark pic of them lit up w/o the HID, it was just to show my girlfriend what a halo was lol. I'll take better ones tomorrow, but here's this.

 

damnnn thats nice... Was thinking about buying that HKS replica exhaust from ebay. How is the fitment and drone?

 

fitment was great. The drone isn't as bad as reviews say. If you're on the highway giving just enough gas to keep a speed, you don't really hear it till you get back on it. People say an x pipe fixes the drone, so if you get an x pipe there will probably be none whatsoever.

 

I appericate the review on the HKS rep im also think within the next few weeks of picking one up

 

Yeah I was skeptical, but at my door for under $400, it's the best bang for your buck in my opinion.

 

how about fitment of the tips? most have problem with the tips being uneven or touching the diffuser and burning the rear bumper with the HKS replicas. have any pics??

 

I can get you some soon. My dad insisted we put them on backwards because he didn't like the burnt tips. I'll probably switch them soon, but what I did was bolted everything up snug, then I held everything where I wanted and had my dad gag it tight. the tips adjust in depth, and if you play with it you can get them to do what you want. but it's been on for a day, I guess we'll find out if I burn up a bumper.

 

yeah ive seen people reverse them but some vendors on ebay sell NON burnt tip replicas so ill probably go with those..since everyone says the tips lose the burnt effect within days. definitely get some pics up! i thought about just getting one and having an exhaust shop bend some pipes a bit to get the tips to sit further down.

 

If you want to buy nice burnt tips to replace thoes go here

Yeah the only thing about them being flipped is you can see a weld and a small notch. It looks fine but can be picked apart if you're up close

 

btw illuminati I see you have a popcharger, signficant power gain for what it is? That's probably next on my list. feel snappier?

 

Haha, I was thinking about getting an exhaust from ebay, too. But I was unable to hear it in person so I ended up getting a Stillen true dual instead. Is the exhaust loud?

 

I mean it's loud but not ridiculous. And if you don't drive like an *** you can keep the noise way down. It's prolly as loud as my dads 01 mustang gt with catback if that's helpful, I haven't heard modded g's in person to reference.
