Installed a Magnaflow 16917 cat back exhaust coupled with a previously installed WeaponR CAI. Have yet to turn on the radio. ;~)

when I installed the weapon or intake and I revved my engine I was disappointed. But then I decided to take it for a drive and when the car is in gear and the engine is under load is when it sounds completely different and it’s quite glorious!

I had to take off my weapon R intake.. but my car is ridiculously loud with flow masters, X pipe in place of 3rd cat, 2.5” true dual exhaust.

I’m going to put on the intake this weekend or maybe next weekend with the cold air intake tube attached and possibly a cheap metal shield from eBay that is adjusted to fit to keep out much of the hot air.

I thought it was on this forum that I found the information, but have been searching all day to no avail.
Where can I find the source of the front bumper cover kit that comes from Poland????

P.M. sent - try these guys, they may be able to help but be prepared for some work to make it fit neatly. It's designed to fit as a complete kit so may need some adjustment.

I could not log into the UK Ebay with my US Ebay account. Do you know if they have a URL that I can log onto. I really like that front end. If I cant get it I will just take mine off and use fiberglass to modify it before I paint it. But I know I will like theirs better.

What I did surprised some people. I took the top down when I left the restaurant after lunch. But the real crowd was when I got to the first red lite after determining that 92 degrees was too hot for top down and while waiting for the light, I put it back up.

i just did it! That happened to me in the beginning until I started getting mad. Then I pressed harder than I should have and it came out without me even wiggling it. Maybe you aren’t pressing it down hard enough?

Thanks for the update but I am sure I am more afraid of breaking it than the results I expect to get if I clean the filter.

Some spacers will be good for your rims. I have the same rims.

Gotta ask the question....

Do you replace the wheel studs when adding spacers between the wheel and hub? I've never thought there was an excess of thread for the studs without spacers.

thanks
