Smile Quick update from the Holiday Meet(Pics)

Recently put on Tanabe NF210's and Tanabe Medallion Exhaust. Springs are okay..but I'm probably going to switch out the springs for Tein CS-T later down the road. I just couldn't deal with the massive wheel gap. Exhaust is GREAT however! Not too loud and not to quiet either, just a nice deep growl to it. Anyways, here are some pics from the meet! Enjoy

Wow, wish I could have been there As for your car, its coming out very nice, just lower it a little more I have a quick question about your exhaust. Did you feel any loss in low end torque and how are the gains overall?

I can't really tell to tell you the honest truth. Seems like I get better throttle response but again that could just be my imagination. The sound of the exhaust can play tricks on you! Haha, but I definitely recommend it. I would easily choose this over stock! Hope that helps somewhat. Maybe anyone ever dyno'd their car before and after installing Tanabe Medallion can chime in.
