Damn that engine bay is CLEAN!!!

Ya I'm jelly!

...I really am not too worried about power gains, I just want a little bit of purr to the exhaust note.

Same here. A bit of a note for fun, but other than that, seems pretty pointless to try and make these cars/motors go fast, cause it ain't gonna happen! haha

 

[hat1018]

Unless you boost it. I for one won't even think about doing that.

 

[Josue6WGN]

I'd question a boosted P5....mid 14's in the quarter is not impressing me one bit. lol

If you get traction... and depending on other mods along with it. But yeah. Hell, Kooldino on here has a 330 whp MP3 that ran 13.3's... Quick, but after seeing what my Miata did, doesn't really impress me. Of course Dino was spinning tires thru 3rd too...


The stock exhausts on the P5's aren't horrible from a flow / bottleneck standpoint. They're bad since they keep the volume down, but not as bad as say... a Civic of my generation with the stock exhaust. That thing was tiny. I've heard a stock exhaust with a header, but I can't remember whose it was. I do remember that it was pretty mild, but had a little growl to it.

 

[Josue6WGN]

That's a little better....providing the car was reliable. lol

 

[THE Phen]

It's a fast car... just no traction until after 60 mph. Haha.

 

[hat1018]

Seems like a waste, all that power and no chance of getting traction. Cheers to him for getting 300+h.p.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Hurry up and BUY!

Thanks for the link Josh. I am going to buy a set of new Eibachs from Nate. Besides that guy wants too much.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Haha....you think he would've checked the price of them new before hand.

 

[hat1018]

Ya no doubt.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Have you grown annoyed with the single speed intermittent setting on your wipers yet, Larry? lol

If so, I picked up another MPV wiper switch at the junk yard yesterday. I was going to throw it up on the forums, but I always catch myself asking if Larry would like something before I sell it now. haha $10 if you do.

 

[Lewis7789]

Doo eet. Josh snagged me one a few months back and it's a 10min install and is a nice feature to have.

 

[hat1018]

Hell yes I want it! It is on my to do list.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Cool. I'll hold on to it for ya.

 

[hat1018]

You are da mang!

 

[CTt3P5]

That exhaust doesn't sound bad at all Jeff. Problem is vids never sound exactly the same. Know what I mean? Thanks for posting it though, I appreciate it.

NP and I know very well what you mean. Damn, where was Josh when I was looking for an intermittent wiper stalk...I dropped $45 for one on ebay. Nice grabe btw...I love mine!

They're only $5.20 at a local yard that lets you pull your own parts.

Could you bring it with you to the Lizard meet? That way I can get it in sooner rather than later. It is really making me crazy now that I know I have one waiting to be installed.
