Big thanks to mark at Origin fabrication for making this piece of art. 321 SS testpipe. 63-70 transition. Also for sending me a few great beers as well. Going to install tonight with battery disconnected, then rip the piss out of venus

Installed. Testpipe fit spot on. Looks great too. Used a vibrant 02 defouler to play it safe

Had a great sunday morning cruise with big chris and the black mamba. Little wet out, but it was still great. Drove out to relish for some fine breakfast and finally got to try montauk brewing double ipa. Not too shabby


Looking at that beautiful prism off that 3m crystalline

Update: just ordered my annual January parts that I'll install throughout the winter to keep my sanity in this cold. After installing a few bolt-ons throughout the years( aem CAI,toda 70 TB, port matched manifold, urge header, origin testpipe and a milltek 70mm dual) I decided I need a little safety so I don't run lean. The fellas at karcepts have a very simple plug and play called greddy emanage ultimate. With a base tune off a very similarly modded s2 I felt this would be the best option for my 05. Passes inspection, all gauges work and no more money for a tune or 06+ Honda parts. Finally installed the leather pole position that had been sitting in the shed for almost a year
I went ahead and had my ohlins rebuilt since they were showing signs of overabuse on these NY roads. Kept the same valving for my 13k front/12k rear spring setup. Also, to dial in the rear I purchased karcepts adjustable rear sway so I can soften on the fly. New spoon front lower arm bushings and a pair of ball joints to keep her up and running for 2018. Might pull the trigger on some cup 2's or re-71's once again. 81 days until the Dragon!

Did you go through Ohlins for the stiffer valving?
