i found a company named gotogarage in japan who produces a custom pipe for the mugen cai, it doesn't look that great, but it would be a lot easier for me to get with my time schedule these days, anyhow, i'm not sure on the price yet since i haven't checked with my supplier, and gotogarage has not responded to my email, but i'll let everyone know when i find out the info, and if it's possible to make it out of titanium, here's a pic below, does anyone have any comments about the design? the pipe kind of tapers so it's not a 3" pipe all the way, which i'm not sure what it does to performance, but it does however fit the arc stb, another reason why i'm choosing to go with this one.

it shouldn't be too hard to fabricate a tube out of titanium, the hardest part will be sourcing the piping. The reason they tubes taper is to increase the velocity of the air. There shouldn't be a power increase on a stock setup but throttle respone should be improved.

Your ride looks good and clean. The way you set it up looks good in silver.

Hi Bshigeta!
One question? What is the meaning of "windshield tape remove"? Is it the black A piller around the windshield, you mean the black colour is the tape? So we can pill off the black colour tape to the body colour?
THANK YOU!!!

ytyper- yup, that black color is tape!, you can simply remove it, but it's a bit harder to put back if you decide that you don't like it, you can run a search, there are plenty of threads on the subject, and several ways people have done the job, some people use a heat gun, but i just slowly pulled it off so that i wouldn't have the sticky tape residue left, as a warning, there have been people that have found scratches underneath the tape.

some more pics...






thanks for the comments? any suggestions which photos i should send in? some were purposely done with a wide lens, and with a stronger contrast to give it a gritty feel, hence the going to the ghetto to take the pics, but i took some clean ones just in case
