Wore a hole through my HR Y Pipe flex pipe (was expecting to do so eventually) so I picked up another HR Y Pipe today (thanks loki05).

Was thinking about getting the M2/Megan Racing HR replica but I was afraid the larger diameter piping would introduce rasp to my exhaust system (Labree TPs, HR Y-Pipe, 05-06 OEM Mid Pipe, HKS rear muffler).

By the time this one wears a hole maybe I'll be ready for a custom exhaust

I got my HR y pipe a couple years ago. Lowered the car another 3/4" a year ago and that is when I really started to scrape. I think I only drove the car 6-7K miles in the last year.

Stopped by Randy's this morning pick up and put on my hood latch. Turned out great you can even see this bling through the front grill.

Wow! Need shades to look at that bling!


The chrome is going to make your polished aluminum jealous
