It was never a problem before the new bumper, but I was always worried about it. I wish I could have fabbed something up but I dont feel I would do a good enough job to make myself happy. At least now I have some peace of mind with the stillen setup

I love it I think the Kurookie bumper really flows nicely with the car

Dude, you painted your car and didn't have the plastic skirts/valence painted?

Do you prefer them to be black?

^ Thanks man I was really happy with the job and the price they gave me

So The headers and high flow cats are on!

I love them so far, the exhaust note is aggressive, yet quieter in daily driving range, which is unexpected but very welcomed. The car has a feelable power increase, I had to force myself to actually stay in a gear until redline, it gives power that just builds and builds.

And I havent even put on the X pipe yet, that should improve it even more!

Sound clips etc will come once I finish her up

Took the car to the dealership yesterday, got the VDC fixed,

I also got a new carbon fiber Z tube to replace that ugly Stillen one.

Couple pictures...

I have installed the X pipe, it sounds good, a bit quieter during normal driving but still a bit more drone than I was expecting. The sound is awesome during acceleration over 3K rpm though. The engine seems to have a fair bit more torque after all this, I was cruising in 3rd today and hit about half-3/4 throttle and the tires slipped. Sound clips will be coming soon! As soon as I get the exhaust rattle taken care of (a hanger is hitting a pipe).

What paint/body shop are you using in Ottawa?

Also, do you know of a good tinting shop in the O?

Thanks.

Dezs Paint Shop, they are in Greely. They are good at dents and everything related to paint work. Good prices too.

I dont know about any tint shops in Ottawa, Ive never really looked into it
