Awsome man. How many lbs was that? Also, what exhaust are you running? Seems as if the sound got muffled alot? Was expecting to hear more gargling.

I I think I heard individual cylinders firing. That was intense.
Wow, that was one of the best sounding cars I have heard in a while. Yes, I thought I heard every cylinder firing, but maybe I was just imagining things.

Sounds awesome. What is back pressure? jk

I believe for every Y pipe its .8 back pressure. Mufflers are about .2 not so much of a biggy. That is, if I remember correctly.

Headers, straight thru mufflers and high flow pipes sound just as nasty on a 1uz-fe if not nastier....However that turb sounds nice...

What is wrong with 18's if the car is lowered? Light in weight and with low profile tires short in diameter compared to stock...I would not trade my 18's for anything else....
