Thanks cakestar. Yea, the cf is just vinyl I got off ebay. Has a nice gloss to it. The brushed aluminum wasn't really matching the new interior color so I wrapped it. I think it goes well. Also installed new shift boot. I'd like to find a cf shift **** but dunno yet. I liked the mishimoto one but we'll see.

Hopefully this week all my suspension stuff gets done as I've been waiting over a month on the shop

But the dam mechanic didnt listen to me when I said shave the bolt, gonna have to borrow a jack and do it myself. Dont feel like going back to those guys ever again, they crapped themselves when I showed them what you're suppose to do.
So after getting rid of that bolt. I realized the sound from the cats were resonating up to the cabin via the bolt which gave it a sweet sound to be honest. After finally slicing that pesky bolt, the sound is gone.

No more sweet sound. But also no more demonic rattling while driving which scares me cause I think it'll eventually pop a hole in the rezo.

Just installed my oem z-tube with revup box.. Noticed my idle smoothed out, car feels peppier, though very slight and it sounds better when I get on it.. I'm not dropping a bunch of money on my bay, don't care about it being fast or polished out.. I like the stock and kept clean look..

I need to replace the bulb for the speedo needle, wonder how hard that is going to be. A wheel hub is roaring, between my tires or alum. driveshaft, I get a vibration near 100 MPH{think its the tires, didnt notice it at first]. And I have a small exhaust rattle I hadnt found.

My car is beginning to get raggedy now.

IIRC, the instrument cluster bulbs are all LED.

It's only an issue when installing the ART pipes since the ***** looking thing is a millimeter away from it

I'm young and immature It's expected. I swear I knew it's a Helmholtz resonator.
