Haha no I didn't man, I worked 50 hrs last week n forgot all about it. I also didn't get my damn $40 zzp flex welded on before hand lol. I just got back from the exhaust shop n got a new flange welded on, and asked about getting rid of the u bend n the new flex on. He said just wait till I tear this one up or till it ticks if it does. Also asked him about mufflers n he said they have the flow masters only, but the off brand since they're patents up. But I asked for boras n he didn't have em. So I think I'm going to buy some boras n they'll install em for $50 a piece..is that a decent price ya think?

Moving quickly with this thing. I like.

So uhhh, when is the pulley drop?

Probably to a 2.55" correct?

Haha idk what size to do. I should have ordered a pcm a month ago from will so i could drop it in now. So looks like it'll be another month. N I was thinking a 3.6 cuz idk if a 3.5 would be too much..

Thanks man, couldn't have done it without my dad, prob could have but it would have taken a weekend lol. N they're the speed daddy's.

Just got back from exhaust shop, they welded a new flange on for me n he sounds so much better than with the leak haha. Thinking about getting some borlas, I seen the turbo series or the xs power ones. I'm wondering which ones to get. The xs are like $100 a pop n the turbo series Are $200..so it's a big difference. Also I think I'd need 2.25 in n out? Just trying to make sure before I placed an order. Might be a few days tho. I'm gonna shop around. Also got my red n white interior LEDs n my reverse LEDs. So m going to tint the reverse bar soon, but ill put the lights in in a few.
Good ol u bend.


Leds

Ahh okay, nope not them..just some $12 boyz off amazon. Theyre really bright tho. I took pics last night n ill upload them later if I have a chance at work.

Well here's the LEDs in, they're pretty bright n pure white. They look good and better in person lol. Pictures don't show too well. Pretty annoyed about my check engine lights. I have the p0137 n another code popped up, p2101. That's something with the throttle body. Just got off work n it's raining so no time to mess with it. May just read up some to check possibilities.
LEDs in reverse bar



Inside

Red floorboard LEDs, white up top

Looks like my interior except for the floor mats. Looks good.

Lol so you need floor mats, haha thanks. Well see what's next. I have no time with work, it sucks.

* I need cool floor mats lol. I have some rubber ones from Wally World

Should try Black light floor mat lights. Would look really cool i think, always wanted to try.

So I had the day off of work today because of the rain. I haven't gotten to mess with the codes yet, I need to get under the car n take out the o2 n check the connections. Now for the p2101, I took of my intake n seen my throttle body was cocked a little like its stuck, now do them sit flush or are they cocked? When doing my headers I do a wire brush n tried cleaning off the gunk inside, I didn't use any solvent or cleaner so I'm thinking the brush pushed the gunk to the side where it rotates n it's not closing all the way, so it's setting off the code? Idk if that's a good guess or what. Help me out lol.

I also bit the bullet n ordered some ssc springs this morning! I went n bought some meguiers natural shine and some 5% tint too. Cleaned up my interior a little n tinted my reverse bar! It turned out pretty good for myself and was really tedious lol. So I'm going to write a little how to of what worked best for me. I tried first impatiently n it was a disaster so I figured I better take my time n do it right lol. I was about to just vht it lol. But I found a solution.

ummmmmm tint probably wont last.. its for indoor use lol

Lol I hope so or it will just get some vht I guess. How do guys tint their tails then though?

VHT or paid professional to shoot tinted clear coat etc

Ahhh okay I see. Lol well ill let you all know if it holds up n if its even worth it! I didn't think twice about it really. Luckily it's 10 bucks I wasted only then.

Lol yeah that sucks, I want it glossy n that vht crap seems flat. I'm not the greatest at wetsand ing either. That's why I need to re do my spoiler lol. N once I get them n have a free day they'll be on quick. Now that I'm not going in blind n know what to do. I might try just the rears first n see how it looks with the DNA fronts. But anyways well tackle that when it gets here n there will be plenty of pics.

I thought about mixing up the SSC and DNA when the time comes and finding the right combo. Figured I won't make much reselling the DNA when you factor in what they cost on eBay and then what shipping would be.

I tried the whole VHT nightshade thing years ago as well as using normal tint and well it sucked lol so of course I forked up the money and had Flip them. 4 years later still looking good.
