im gonna go with something bling, like a ARC titanium spark plug cover or the Titanium Radiator plates......

**Mike** · 03-01-2008, 06:04 PM

haha, no bling. i bought it used last year for $120. it gave me 2whp and 5ft-lbs. it sounds amazing.

One of those Silver MMsports stickers?

Well, theres no way in hell you paid 120 dollars for a used titanium catback exhaust. And if you spent any amount of money on any material-exhaust that gave you such little gains, you should probably kill yourself :wink: Maybe some sort of axle-back muffler?

**JustinG** · 03-01-2008, 08:17 PM

NA cars see little gains like that with exhaust....

My guess is an intake...

**JustinG** · 03-03-2008, 10:33 PM

Beej · 03-03-2008, 11:02 PM

Don't be silly.

Though I can all but guarantee you won't be able to get into our driveway...wait until you move.

And for the record, st00k's and their 9000 rpms sound silly with an intake.

and the distortion on that lens makes my eyes hurt

maybe he's parked at the bottom of a small dip? lol

St00k is lookin' good buddy! Definitely drop that b, but I agree with BJ to wait until you're out of that place. It's not worth the hassle of destroying your bumper / undercarriage.

Does that car have a short throw shifter from the factory? I'd consider that if you don't already have one.

:lol: whenever anybody asks "what's the best short shifter i can get?" on a forum, they get laughed at.

WRXtranceformed · 03-04-2008, 09:40 AM

So I guess the OEM is the best? :lol:

The factory STS on the WRX wasn't bad, but I liked the Kartboy a billion times better.

ya. i'd go so far as to say it's the best shifter ever made for a street car.

Maengelito · 03-04-2008, 09:54 AM

i think i've loved every honda shifter i've ever touched. that one time we traded cars mikey, that shifter was amazing.

**Mike** · 03-04-2008, 10:21 AM

soo another day with the intake... think i might take it off.

positives: a tiny bit more power, it sounds "great"
negatives: i could get $150 for it, it's really quite loud when i get on it, it creates a "whirring" noise at idle, i think it's ugly in the engine bay, chance of hydrolock, it's a ghetto install since i didn't have all the parts.

while it doesn't add as much power, the comptech looks much nicer and is a bit quieter:

or maybe get a cf cover for the stock box and a cf cooling plate:
