I'm trying to figure out what should I spend on the car for under $250.

I wanted GTSPEC bars but it seems it might be an issue with my exhaust. And the 4 point brace makes the clearance lower :-/

I guess I'll go for hood dampers

Any of you ever had a leaking valve stem on your wheels? One of my front tires was losing air quickly and realized it has a leak on the valve stem. It would be disinflated within a few minutes of it wasn't for the cap.

I seem to lose a few PSI after a week.

That's for sure On the contrary to what a lot of people are saying about the exhaust, it's much quieter than I thought it was going to be.

John you got PM!

Dre, I'll see if I can snap some tomorrow if it don't rain

^Yeah bro that was me lol. BBR's!!! Hahaha I'll be there this week probably if nothing comes up. Oh and no pics either..no camera on me right now. Car looks the exact same anyway..I was talking about the exhaust clearance since the fat H pipe hangs lower than my mid chassis brace now. Do you guys know if that's normal btw? Don't think I messed up the install or anything but the big can muffler on the H pipe hangs lower than the brace. All the hangers and everything are in place.

Henry, I picked up the Greddy Ti-C..you know what that means

I'm not sure about it hanging lower than the mid chassis brace but the exhaust (mid section) is always the first thing that scrapes in my car.

Hmm..did I fvck up? I don't think there's any other way I could've installed it and everything was tightened up and all hangers corresponded to their original mounting points. I wish I could find some pics..it's like the H pipe connects to the 2 pipes coming from the cats..that part is fine and covered by the brace. Right after that (going towards the rear), there's this big polished muffler can and the bottom sits a little lower than the brace. It kinda makes me nervous cuz there's no protection for it..already scraped it several times.

EDIT: Hey Shane, I remember you had a similar problem with the fast intentions exhaust hanging low. Did you fix it after switching the s pipes? I have a feeling mine might be the same problem...damn Greddy and their no install instructions BS.
