Dang it ... I lied..... next mod : Ugre Design with Gernby pipe. Long story short, I saw these for sale locally and just had to get them. The reason why is because I actually hate the J's FX 70RS. There are two main reason
1) Even with an T1R resonated test pipe. It's way way too loud for me. The droning also drives me crazy!
2) I always liked the dual look. It flows better with the rear bumper. I mean I can get a cap to block the left side hole, but that still wont look right to me.
Test fitting it under the J's lol.
Going to install it over the weekend and I'll do a mini review like how I did the Recaro. Oh this is the STR version, so it's trackable =)
In goes the Urge Design Scavenger V3 with Gern-pipe
From the rear :
The final product installed :
First impression. Very well built. Everything fits as it should and install was pretty easy. But I feel that the pipe should stick out a bit more, since if you look from the top down or from the side, it is not visible. Sound wise, it loud but dies down when it get warm and start to idle. So far, its raining today so i haven't had a chance to take it out. But soon ....
Update : OK. So what's the verdict? Honestly, I think it sounds much better than the J's. Its has a more deeper tone from start to around 7k RPM. Once it get to 7k its sound like a f... c... lol. The drone is also nearly gone. Its still drone every sightly at around 2-3k, but of course much less than the J's with the test pipe. Butt HP feel a bit of a gain as well. Overall I like this set up more than the J's with the test pipe (which is by the way on sale).
Well one thing is finding the time to go and also its winter so that makes it worse lol. But I prefer to get the BBK first since the OEM rotors are known to crack with extreme stress.
Honestly, OEM brakes are fine for the track, just upgrade the pads and use good brake fluid. They are usually known to crack when you track A LOT, which is why people with OEM brakes will just buy cheap blank rotors. I tracked my car a few months ago with stock calipers, ATE typ200 dot 4 brake fluid, Winmax W3 pads, and Stoptech slotted rotors and they did just fine, no brake fade either, tires are Federal RS-RR (200TW tire). Honestly just go out an enjoy the car, which is exactly what I do. I don't go to the track for competition, just want to have fun with the car in a safe environment

That is true! I am just gonna try it out and see how it is. Maybe starting this spring since it is pretty much wet all day everyday here in the PWN during the winter time. But then that gives me a bit more time to get more parts l
