Ebay parts!

Ebay parts!
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

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.
