I'm gonna order up my mufflers and exhaust pipe next week. Do you guys that have the megan muffler think I should go with a resonator as well? Is it going to be so loud during normal driving that I'm gonna hate it w/o it?

I think the most commonly used gauge for exhausts is 18 ga., but I won't swear to it.

I was just thinking...this thread would make good use of a "search this thread" button.

You know, like the search this forum thing at the bottom of the forums...well the same thing, but reduced to a thread.

lol...I don't know if it is something you can add...I've actually never seen it before. But, just something I thought of that would probably be good use for threads like this

last week Wa state had some of the wickedest weather in history. pounding rains, 75-80mph winds and of course street flooding. so as my luck seems to go, i end up hitting a LAKE on the hwy that was, no joke 8in deep. the problem being the my car sits about 4in off the ground. as you can imagine hitting this lake about 40mph is not good. my Amuse lip didnt fare so well. it was completely destroyed.

so i decided to do a little makeover for my s2. i wanted to go a different route on the car(ala IllRoller) and go for a more clean and simple look. so,

before:




after:
these are just some quick shots, right after a quick wash. i added APR mirrors/OEM lip. i know its not much of a change, but its still "under constuction" with new wheels/tint/new suspension all in the works.
