It's not loud inside the car as you might think. There's no vibration or rattling that I can feel in the front. When I have people in the back which is almost never they say it vibrates their feet a little. At highway speed you really don't notice it. No drone at all. Especially when the stereo is turned up I can't hear anything outside.

Straight pipe from the headers back. A Magnaflow X-pipe was placed where the doors close. They put it that far back to leave room to add resonators if I wanted. Then 5zigen Fireball Mega mufflers.

I like your plates too!
Yeah I know. Stationary fly bys don't really do it justice.

I bought caliper relocation brackets from a fellow member here for $150/pair. They allow the z06 calipers and is-f rotors to bolt on.

I know, that's really the only flaw interior wise. The back seat is immaculate and the passenger seat has minimal wear but no rips.

About the 20's, they really don't look that big in person. The 2.5" front lip and 5" rear lip make them appear smaller than say a full faced or concave 18 or 19" wheel.

Would you say the SRT intake and chip was worth it?

I mean the car definitely has more pickup now but it's also so heavy considering the wheels, upgraded brakes, subs, extra battery in the trunk, dynamat etc. So it's hard to tell how well it could work if the car we're lighter. I've only had it on for maybe 500 miles but as far the ecu learning goes at around 250 miles it should be done. I'm getting the same if not less gas mileage now. The CEL has also been on for about 2 years since the headers were installed and the cats had to be removed. I just ordered some mini cat o2 sensor simulators that act the same as non foulers but are designed specifically for cat-less systems and incorporate a mini cat with honeycomb in each simulator. So once I get them on and don't have a constant CEL maybe the car will perform a little better.

Overall I bought the intake (used) new in box so I didn't spend $600 on it or the $499 price it's currently going for. If nothing else it was to have a different sound and it's more aesthetically pleasing to me than keeping it stock or going with the BFI which retains the stock look. I also wanted to complete the Intake/Headers/Exhaust theme.

After I made it I kinda got that feeling too. Actually as I was taking the intake vid a guy was hanging out a of a car window leaving the gas station next door and asked me if it was going up for sale.

Yup 4P9 baby!! The car so needs a full paint job though. There's like 5 different shades on the car. The lip is one color, the hood is fading and clear is flaking off, the front bumper's clear is pretty bad, the trunk was painted early last year, the rear bumper is a duller color etc.

Nice car man look good. I really like that lip kit you have on the car. Do you know if they make a lip kit for the zenkei bumpers??? Guess I need to start doing some research.

I was going to buy a 400 before I got my 300 just to hear the v8, gotta love it. It sounds so deep.
