ya it's super easy to do... as long as you get the right size belt

Ya I still need a custom tune done... I'm still waiting for some nicer weather... we just had snow here the other day.
I've probably driven my car 15-20 miles in total this year.

Thanks man me too!!


swapped out my berk hfc for a test pipe cause I'd likely pick up more power being supercharged running a test pipe... also had a bung welded onto it for the aem wideband.






took the car out for a quick spin... it stinks pretty bad and it's super loud

I had the same problem. I swapped out my HFC for a TP, and about 20 in driving around LA. It just smelled, so i changed it back.

Ya I don't really think I'll have much of a choice... being supercharged I think I'll be suffocating my exhaust by running a cat converter.

That and forced induction typically causes the catalytic converters to go bad quickly. Having all that soot on your back bumper, especially on a white car is a pain in the a$$, but I don't really mind the fumes. After a track day, my bumper is almost black!

oooo yea, that soot build up.

you should get a white vinyl and put it on your bumper above your exhaust. It will save your paint.

My buddy has those, and they look kinda tacky when installed. I would just go with some clear bra, and replace it when it starts to yellow.

hmmm... good tip.
I'm running a JDP rear diffuser so I'm probably more likely to get soot all over that then my rear bumper.
Maybe I'll do a clear bra above the exhaust exits though... right on the rear diffuser.
