as long as you don't get a cheap ebay knock-off most of the good exhausts just make the sound better, and won't drone when cruising. Among the local guys we've got pretty much every brand besides HKS, I've got Apexi, TJ has Fast Intentions, Craig as Borla, another guy that I don't remember his name has Tanabe, we should do an exhaust meet greet and compare meet this summer lol

^ you'll be happy with them if you decide to go that route. No drone what so ever. I also love how berks are the only HFC's that utilize that support bracket that your oem's bolt up to. If u ask me without that support I'd imagine things would sagg under there a bit.

What I did to my car today while it snowed outside

Turns out vinyl work isn't too terribly difficult, just time consuming. Not too bad for a $5 piece of 3m dinoc.




It kinda looks like there are bubbles in this picture, but its absolutely flawless.. no bubbles HURRAY!


hey everyone, meet my 2nd new best friend !

Removed the coilovers, went back to stock height so I can get an alignment on Monday and roll up to Kent to get all my goodies installed... Didn't get any after pics of the car because it was dark but the wheel gap is HUUUUGE lol

Posted a couple comparison of the OEM vs aftermarket suspension, huge improvement

DatsunOf@Gun: why your 2nd new best friend?

Joker: no, the vinyl has adhesive on the back side of it, so stays on by itself... and since its 3m stuff you know its going to last a long time! its suppose to last something like 5 years on the outside and 7 inside... and pretty sure ill have a new car or new look by then

Scraped all the snow off. Again. I was definitely not expecting another fresh layer of powder this morning.
