A header? Snorkle?

J's is to expensive. people are getting good numbers on the stocker . just haven't seen one in my price range worth getting. anyone know of any gains with exhaust wrap/ceramic coating the stocker? i heard about it cracking under track driving but mines gonna be used for daily driving. im not to worried as you can find stock headers roaming around pretty cheap. if no one has dynoed a exhaust wrapped stock header ill try to mine and dyno tune it and try to get some numbers up after the holidays.

R.I.P Amuse lip. 2005-2006.

i was driving home from work tonight, in the rain, the total downpour kinda rain. in short there was a lake on the street, i never saw it, hit at about 40mph....bye, bye amuse lip. it was ripped off and then dragged under the car until i could pull over and get it out from under the car.

my car is lipless and looks totally dorky, i NEED a new lip asap.
Poor thing. It barely got to live

RIP

My cousin is comming to hang out next week, I'll have him record some in-cockpit runs, as well as some fly-by's. I'll upload them for you guys soon after

I'm gonna start hitting my family members up for parts money

Hopefully, there'll be a 70mm sparrow on by April

Maybe your door-to-door hood cutting service will take off and you won't need to hit them up.

If only I charged for that...

Nah, it's not so much that I can't afford it, it's more of a promise I made to not spend anymore on it (for awhile).

Well, I intend to pay you whether you like it or not.

I said the same thing a few months ago, now here it is about $4k later.

I only accept payment in the form of flat dough covered in marinara sauce and cheese, and/or barley based fermented beverages
