I see thanks

 

[MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Sorry if any pictures in this thread (or elsewhere on SS) have disappeared. I just did a massive clean up of my Picasa albums.

Progression has been really slow since the semester started back up...

But tonight I removed the high beam bulbs. I have bi-xenon, so the high beam output comes from the main projector beams.
This prevents the city lights from overheating with the high beams on. No error messages either!

LED glove box light and LED running lights

Also ordered a few more goodies

 

[Slasher]

This is much more dramatic than I would expect. It looks great!

Injen Intake

Various Intake Mods

For more info on the intake, see the Injen Intake thread here.

EST Strut Bar

Don't worry, the engine cover is not staying solid blue! That's just phase 1 of my new engine bay appearance.

Also got S40 OEM sunshades, pics of those later.

 

[MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

S40 sunshades are in. So much better for blacking out the back windows, and easily removable!

Magnaflow cutout and quad tips are here! Now comes the fun part...

 

[MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Because I already have a resonator delete, I put my cutout there. Sorry for the weird angled pics.

The exhaust fumes, more or less, come out near the wheel well.

I did not spend the extra $$$ for an electronic controller, I'd be overwhelmed by the options anyway. When completely open, without a resonator, this thing sounds like a bear out of hell! Rice all the way and turning heads of the people that I don't want to attract.

I did the washer mod until I got the exact sound I wanted.

0 washers on the top, 2 washers on the right, 3 washer on the left. If the washers are evenly distributed, the car sounds like it's farting with the rippling air. The thicker opening on one end allows for a smoother flow of air. I would rank the sound somewhere in the tuned Infiniti/Nissan territory. What I love is the fact that I can adjust it to any sound I want from loud to stock.

Total investment, $62
Time for install, 2 hours
Time for adjusting tone, 30 minutes
Satisfaction, I was willing to pay a LOT more $$$ for this exact sound!

A before/after sound clip will come once I get the tips installed.

 

[Adrenaline406]

Can't wait for the clips.

 

[BeachBoy]

so this is simply a @[email protected] in the exhaust that you can adjust?

Basically, yes.

Or open full wide or completely close up.

Video?

 

[MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Just added this sticker:

The video should be up by tomorrow evening! Sorry for such a delay, life has been crazy and other projects needed to be finished.

Nice disappearing trick w the car! Wish mine could do that...

Also, the exhaust sounds nice. It's no Subaru STi with Cobb exhaust, but it's cool... Lol jk. I actually have no reference point since I can't even hear my wife's 2.4i.
