Version, I got my OEM front lip off ebay from flagstaff honda. 350 painted and shipped, not too bad considering MSRP is $500. Just throwing that out there in case you can't find anything else!

LMFAO!!!

Ill keep you guys posted, Also Spugen charges like 300 for piping. that dosent include resonator or muffler.

didnt you pay around that? I think im going to try with the muffler i have and a Burns resonator, or any other Resonator? any help guys?

I want to make it as quite as possible.....
Yur going to have to use a couple resonators to get that thing anywhere near "loud" lol.

One res should be enough to stop dronning enough for you to be able to drive without cringing your teeth the whole time. I also use a silencer at times on the streets when I knew I was going for long drives. That almost made the car sound like it had stock exhaust, but with a very deep growl. However it robbed me of any power I was making. To be honest the noise didn't bother me at all as I love hearing the exhaust over anything else.

A res is a res so any one will do. Spugen had to choices for mine. One that was sort of like a first canister for the system. The other was a straight through design which had rivets inside to distort air flow enough to quiet the noise level down some. I went with the straught flow design. I think it may be a bit more quieter with the other one.

If I remember correctly Spugen charged me $275 for piping, and I got my hks canister for $300. Just go with a cheap but good quality canister like version did with the megan which I think costs around $40.

No I decided not to go for the deal. I don't know why, but my heart wasn't into it.
I kept thinking if I want to go with a used S not knowing how it may have been treated(I mean how much can you trust the words of a person you don't know), or just wait to get a new one within a couple of months.

Plus I'm used to it, and would like to get into another AP2.

3" may be too much...I remember someone on here tried one a while back and had bad luck with it. Too big of an exhaust, and the exhaust gases have time to cool and become denser....thus harder to push.

Good luck, let us know what happens.
