1UP CREW DISCUSSION / SCION MEET
the evo2 is the one little pete has, right? if so, i agree with johnnys statement. i think big poppa's sounds nice too, but it's a abit louder, little pete's has a deeper g35/borla-ish tone.
330mpg vehicle coming to california next year i believe

ok to clarrify cedric...and for the milf chaser lol
i have the EVO 2 and pete has the SP2 both by greddy...
the sp2 is quieter and has a throatyness to it...my evo has aggressive sound.... granted i have a header so it makes it a TAD louder but really not by much at all really.... both mines and petes give the greatest amount of gains for the tc.. i think mines by 1 whp and tq lol... test by GSC motorsports a while back VS ALL of the exhuasts on the market...
if u want something quiet but still have good power get a tanabe concept G or tanabe medallion.. its great, gives good power, and very quiet but still noticable... David has it (ricantc) on his FM...
little petes sounds nice because its a throaty ehxaust made for more stealth + he has no header... mines of course is a turbo back style so its a tad louder...
your welcome to check it out next time... in about a week or less my car should be 100% again...so ur welcome to listen to the sound... its gonna get alot quieter soon... not as loud as it use to before at WOT

sounds good, thanks for info guys.
my current setup is strup header, megan s-pipe, megan midpipe (with AR25 resonator) and megan OE-RS axleback. no rasp with this setup, but the axleback seems pretty restrictive to me.
feel free to PM me a price, i will come take a listen next time i see you

np man...
heres an update on the VC....
finally got around to taking some pics: these pics are the after effects of wet sanding with 400 grit on the first coat of primer on the VC... as you can see the VC is farrrrrr from perfect and has ALOT of waves, fill areas, and rough surfaces that i need to basically block sand all the way down to bare metal to fill in properly all the imperfections in the metal... you can clearly see alot of high and low spots and also deep creveces in the bottom parts of the VC were ill need to completely sand smooth before going on to primer again.. (FK)... luckily though im ok with it... i did manage to find some cracks in the primer probably from loose greese that wasnt cleaned up to well or is deeply sunk into the metal... but i sanded it all out and i just need a few more hours of wet sanding to finish the first layer... then off to primer again....



i have noticed that with the 400 grit it brings out a nice polished look to the VC (to start) so if anyone is looking to get their VC's polished LMK.... and ill charge a small fee to get'er'done lol...

not really.. you just gotta take your time and give it alot of love lol... its more messy then anything else... im wet sanding in my spare bathroom tub lol... so the tub gets dirty when i work but when im done i clean it up so the wifey wont get mad...
im actually having a good time doing it.. sorta a stress reliever for me... cant wait to start putting down the first base coat of paint!

id like to thank my homie jay son... for hookin a brotha up with a replacement strut. thanks man.. was able to put it in today and so far, the noise is gone.
Pete - Im probably gonna follow your advice and get the fic tuned before i get the coils. i think ill be able to take care of things a bit easier that way. Thanks for the suggestion

I just swapped out the driver front. lol.. funny thing is, since my car was my very first install that took like 8hrs in the dark to do.. lol i found out some stuff that wasnt exactly right on the install. I corrected it this time around, but im afraid to check the others.. lol figure what i dont know wont hurt me... lol
Plus, it shouldnt be too long now till i get the basics. like i said before, gonna tune, then sell off the ultimate, then spring for the coils. Ive got the other three here chillin, keepin the blown one company.. lol if youd like, when i swap it back out, ill give you the set back. thanks again homie
