Jxnco, tears of joy
Surely that pic doesn't do justice to the beauty of this mod you have discovered - i was looking at my single sided tailpipe from an angle and it looks so balanced, so 'natural' on the side with the pipe, the side without is so lacking. Won't ask you to post another pic it might be too beautiful and crash the servers So much push to get me off my butt, but if i do this mod it will be only fake, hopefully no one can tell I am thinking black chrome.. |

jxnco, yours is supersprint? How is the sound? I will check with Z today and see the cost of the 3d Design. The wait time should be faster if 3d japn has in stock.

jxnco: I actually was at TW just now and I asked ar hung about exhaust. He said Supersprint would take around September to get here. Then i asked him if there was performance difference, he said no
Maybe the tips isnt such a bad idea. But in winter isnt it obvious with no smoke coming from the other side? That is a much cheaper mod if there is no power advantage. |

You also need to think about whether you are ok with losing some low end torque. If you don't drive uphill that much, maybe it's a non issue for you. But if you feel going uphill you currently don't have enough power, then switching to real quads might be a bad idea.

RC3, what's your experience with your Hamann quad? I remember you mentioned in another thread that the impact isn't very noticeable and the noise is acceptable?

There must be some performance gain. But I tell you it's minimal and can't really notice.

How about this? Put dry ice in the tips during summer and heat pack during winter. Play droning sound with your stereo too. Total package.

In terms of the sound. Very low tone. Drones at low rpm. Higher rpm or speed can't really notice since I am hearing more the engine rev. Can feel vibration inside the cabin. But not that much. If I compared my exhaust to the 911 stock exhaust, it's like baby tune. FYI, I changed the quad and my wife still have not noticed it. So you can imagine the difference.

Forget about the 3D exhaust.

Hurry up bro. Shops only takes a few hours to fix the rims. Otherwise how do you compete with them for business.

I would go for coilovers if I were you. I kind of regret that I didn't go for the KWV3. Now just wait and see. Fake trapezoid tips? Forget it bro. Just get a Lexus.

I regret reason being I thought the V3 would be harsh. But from all the end user's feedback they are even softer than the stock. With don't know how many times of performance improvement. I also like my car a bit more lower. Trapezoid just not my cup of tea..... I would change them even if i have them stock.

Then u must try the V3 to see if what u think is real .. so many hk dudes have installed them .. let's ask someone to kindly volunteer to allow you a ride here I dun want low .. most drop i see r too low for my taste, maybe M-drop just a bit more, but no way eibach or H&R straight switch .. so eibach 550 i can raise the front by 1.5cm if it works to plan, my rear is about 0.5cm higher all the time since i never fill more than 50% gas |
