exhaust sounds nice. you will definitely enjoy the art pipes if you switch. what you've got now isn't bad at all tho.

also the wheels look nice. i was wondering what kinda camera you took the pic of the wheels with. i've been thinking of getting a nice camera and the pic you posted was really nice. all the colors were nice and vibrant and detail was nice as well. if you don't mind sharing what kinda camera you've got i'd like to know.

I just saw this.. Sorry, I am unsure on the camera used.. I can ask my friend if you're still curious.

Here's a few other pics from a recent meet.







We lowered the front a little bit, as well as put on some smaller front tires (225/35/19 compared to 245/40/19). I bought some used 245/35/19's for the rear, but they wouldn't hold air stretched, so we couldn't lower the rear since my fenders are pretty much sitting on the tires when driving. I'm going in for some paint work soon as well as correcting the fitment. I also took off the wipers the other day (not in pics).

Horsepower and torque are pointless? There can be some good gains from bolt ons that won't cost you 5k like a turbo or sc or built engine. Full intake, full exhaust, and a tune will put you in the 260-280 whp range. Hell of a lot better than the stock 215-230 whp. Far from pointless...

Also I believe an exhaust would count as a bolt on

Clean *** g though, I love the color! I've never been a fan of the gt-7's but they look perfect on your car. Good fitment too!

Amen on this. OP your exhaust is a little too raspy for me, if you go with the ARTs you will get a deeper tone, more power and less rasp. Here's a teaser of how they sound with a sedan Motordyne VQ exhaust.

Well, it's been a long time since I've updated this. Haven't done much posting on forums over the last 2 years. I have done a bunch of new things with the car, a full list can be seen if you look at my "Garage" on here which I just updated. A few things off the top of my head are Nismo kit (have the rear sitting in my house, no time to install), changed wheels a few times (I am currently on 18x9.5 RPF1's), changed the exhaust a few times, Brembos, coils and some other goodies. I also took the trip down to ZDayz this year which was a complete blast. Got to test the cars handling and how well I know the car. Here's some pics and video.

Link to video of the newest exhaust:

Here's a recent rolling shot that a friend snapped and edited:

I'll honestly never sell it since it's such a rare piece. At that time I was contemplating parting out, but since then I decided that eventually this will be tucked away for track use.

Thanks for the compliments by the way.
