It only took maybe 30 minutes to install it. Hardest part was to remove that long bolts for front. I think it was atleast 8-10 inch long bolt. The car feels lot more civilized now.




I should have cleaned the spoon x-brace bar for the picture

 

just curious.. how does that help? and in what respect?
Thanks..

 

cool, got me one of those too

 

It suppose to make the car lot more stiffer. I've noticed BIG difference with the x-bar in front. For the mid bar, it's wasn't as drastic change as x-bar but overall made the car lot smoother. Both bars specially made the car feel better in a less than perfect road.

 

I was suppose to get the rear one also. However the store told me that it will be about 3-4 months wait. Something about model change or something. I cancelled the order and probably going to reorder it when they are ready to ship.

 

will this fit My04's? im guessing it would. i would be interested in this mod. thanks.

boxer6, I see from your last pic you still have that nasty resonator on your car. Spend the $40 to have it removed. You will NOT be disappointed .

boxer6,

 

Strictly for sound. It has no effect on performance good or bad. The OEM resonator is straight through so removing it doesn't change back pressure to any degree. It does sound MUCH better though. It is pretty subtle but increases the exhaust volume just enough to balance it out with the engine sound. With the resonator in, all you hear is the engine sound. With it removed, you can hardly tell a difference when just cruising along, but it gives the car a nice tone during accel/decel. The car should come without it IMO.
