That always gets me:bspissed), when every other harley and hot rod rippin down the street has a modified exhaust and are twice as loud and you never see them getting pulled over.

Well I "attempted" to tint my sunroof today. Know better when it dries out under the film. The good was I precut it to just the right size. The bad was not using water with sufficient detergent (I think). Some creases from trying to move it without enough lubrication. I used 20%. Guess I'll let it set up and live with it awhile. Can always re-do or have professionally done, perhaps at another tint level. Is pulling it off after it's been on awhile real bad tearing bits off, or just cleaning off the glue?(eek2)

Tell me about it. Up at school out in Blacksburg, VA (ie redneck country) we have all those diesel pickups with the exhaust stacks coming up out of the tailbed. But no, it's me with the import car that gets the ticket for an "illegal" exhaust. Damn good 'ole boys...

Got an alignment first thing this morning....followed by a few trips around town.

I don't have my car yet but my first weekend on base I woke up early on a Sunday morning and decided to go walking around from 7AM-8AM until breakfast opened up at the dining facility. I was looking around at all the buildings trying to find out what times they were opened and their basic layout. I came upon a building that was being renovated and I was looking in at the deconstruction when the police came around and asked me what I was doing.

last night i put the Apexi N1 sedan catback on my protege 5 last night underaxle ftw

 

[DubbyDoo]

i need to get some new hangers to get it to pull up just right

 

[magnumP5]

Got any side shots?

 

[DubbyDoo]

best one i got till it stops raining

 

[magnumP5]

LOL, yeah rain sucks - been doing that here all morning (and last night) as well. Looks like you lost a lot of the angle in the modification though. How's the clearance with all the rear suspension components?

 

[DubbyDoo]

nah the angle is still there just didn't get a good picture and doesn't hit anything under it

 

[DubbyDoo]

my cars on a hill so the picture isnt flat

One other thing I've been wondering about: does this exhaust replace the midpipe or is it just a catback? I thought Ryan's was j-pipe back but looking at ApexR1's website they keep calling it a catback.

 

[DubbyDoo]

its a catback he just had the apexi midpipe to

 

[magnumP5]

Ah, damn that'd mean I still need to find a 3" midpipe...

 

[DubbyDoo]

lol why 3 inch 2.5 is perfectly fine for your turbo

 

[magnumP5]

Current turbo, yes, future turbo, no. I'm on the cusp of a pretty large build right now. I'm just not like Ryan showing off every little part I buy.

 

[DubbyDoo]

lol k
