downpipe

How much did that dp end up costing you?

$160 with shipping, $40 brokerage, $80 installation so ~280

Do you notice a big diffrence without the ubend now? Im thinking of staying N/A and so far have a CAI but want to go HV3, ER rockers, etc.... just wondering how your car is now with your mods?

The u-bend doesn't do a whole lot but it just opens up flow for more mods. My setup definitely pulls harder and sounds louder. The exhaust pops when I go WOT and then go off it. I do feel less low-end though but it makes up for it in top-end. I currently have HAI, 3" catless DP, res+u-bend delete and overkill tune. I have plans for HV3, Plog and ER rockers as well. If you're going to do plog and downpipe at once just get headers for cheaper, I made the mistake of not getting headers.

It pops and rasps because you don't have a resonator.

They aren't a restriction.

Put one back in your car so it doesn't sound like dog crap.

buy me one, I'm a broke uni student

Glasspack's are super cheap.

They do the same thing.

They are less than $30 USD.

i got my glasspack for a little over $20 from autozone

I'm in true white north rip-off canada. The cost to get the straight pipe welded out and glasspack put in is my food for 2 weeks bruh

who said anything about welding?

Get yourself a pipe cutter and clamp that whorebag in.

resources BRAH, use ems.

so let me get this straight... I'm going to steal a pipe cutter, steal a proper jack assuming doing this under my spare tire jack isn't too safe, and steal some jack stands while im at it and do this in my university parking lot. got dat right? broke uni student... know what it means son.

lol son?

You've got no friends to borrow stuff from?

No parts stores that let you borrow tools?

Man, Canada must suck.

I'm in a different city for uni, my buddies who have tools or work at shops are back home

So you're never going back?

Point. Proven.

In a few months and I'll have even less money then... rent and all kinda drains the funds

Just a thought, maybe save some money instead of modding incase something goes WRONG to the car?

Which is will since it's a grand prix.

not expecting something to go wrong to a straight pipe res, which is why it would be pointless atm to waste money on a glasspack since my suspension is getting funky and rust is appearing everywhere

Oh man.

You dont need a car while in school. They hav public transit all around campus. What school are you going to anyways?

I'm at waterloo and I drove last year to class due to the location of my house but I'm bussing this year. My car is just for groceries and driving back to Toronto

Ha, I'm sure if you're paying for insurance, thats killing you more than anything else.
