Default First time modifier, long time listener.

Did my first modifications ever this weekend. I got a used exhaust (GREDDY EVO 2), used header (Megan Racing), put on a defouler, and modified my stock intake.










400 miles and no CEL!



John/iKONA tore up his arm while helping me put in these parts i got from him. Thats dedication!

I don't know that it is super effective- But I just took off the black plastic piece that normally goes there and plugged it up. Figured it was worth a try.

^ Great pictures!

It adds maybe 1 HP I'm not sure I never tested with it. ALl I know is the silencer on the stock intake is a waste of air and just takes away from air that should go in the engine. Take it off and you get that much more air.

That cut hurt more then it looks! But big deal I'm no baby! It gives a good story to tell girls. These punks came to my garage and thought they could get away with some tools.....

I'll give that a try. I may not have got away with your tools, but I broke your Taiwanese socket and stole your bolts!

How does the exhaust sound? Also how did the header line up with everything?

I bet iKONA that he couldn't guese what I used to plug up the silencer on the intake... I looked around the house for about an hour- It is the end of a lint roller that I cut to fit... haha, lame I know

The headers lined up with no problem at all. I think the exhaust is a tad loud, but I got it just for performance so it matters little to me.
