    cat-delete

    Thanks for the tips, I will make sure they use the expanded piping, and they quoted me $100. I have the DiabloSport Predator so I can turn the cat sensors off with that.. I think my big question was is there really any difference between the "off-road h-pipe" and an x-pipe? I mean obviously...

    wow, I really feel sorry for a lot of you guys out there. I've got 4:10 gears, cai, tuned, and pullies and I average between 25.5-28.5mpg on the highway on cruise at 70mph. In town is quite a bit different, all depends on the driving of course but anywhere as low as 10mpg to 20mpg depending on...

    cat-delete

    So I've been debating on doing something and wanted to know if anyone has done this before, if so do you have any videos so I can hear what it sounds like? I have the Borla cat-back system which I absolutely love, but I'm thinking I may want it to be a little louder (it's pretty quiet atm)...

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    What I'm talking about is the cover plate on the bellhousing. It is very noticeable just from getting underneath the car and looking up at it, you will either see two bolts where they should be or two holes where the bolts should be, simple as that.

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    I'll tell you that it sounds a LOT like what I had going on. Sounds can be tricky as to where you think it may be coming from. Before I went trying to go through a brake inspection I would rather literally take 10 seconds and scoot underneath the car and see if those bolts are missing.

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    it only takes a minute to look at the flywheel cover to see if those bolts are missing :)

    Unidentified Clinking sound..?

    solution I can tell you exactly what it is. oddly enough I had the exact same problem. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. I bet your noise goes away after driving the car for a little while? and usually only happens on a cold start? Well, that's how mine was anyways. Look at...

    Rev Limiter

    I have a diablosport predator, and you can adjust the rev limiter on whatever tune he loads on there. Just go to "Modify Tune" right before you install. It will show "Rev limiter 1, Rev limiter 2, Rev limiter 3"... I have found out that I belive each of these limiters are for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd...

    Drag Radials

    Thanks for the input, guys. I'm going to another track hopefully this saturday. I will play with the air alot there. (it's 1/4, too!) High elevation, but I'm hoping for reaaaallly low 13's. (4,000ft) My last best there was a 14 flat, without 4:10's and steeda pulleys I just installed, and...

    Drag Radials

    well, obviously I went with the M/T's, and a new set of rims just for them. I headed to the track the day after I got them in. Got rained out. 120mile one-way trip. That sucked. But, I did take the car to Dallas this last weekend (I'm from New Mexico) for a little vaca, and on the way back...

    Drag Radials

    Well, the Nittos only had a 100treadwear anyways... so you can't drive them on the street realisticly.. and I was getting seperate rims for these tires, anways. So, I went ahead and went with the M/T's. I don't have a LOT of power, but I have 4:10 gears and a few other mods, so I want to be able...

    Drag Radials

    Good to know I'm not just crazy... I think no one else actually realizes this... because you don't hear it when inside the car.

    Tune

    Ok, I've got a question about a tune. I have a diablosport tuner, which has worked pretty good until the last couple of weeks. I've started getting a MAF check engine light that keeps coming on, and I can't seem to get the MAF correct on the tune. It starts out at 0 on the steeda CAI tune and I...

    shaker1000

    Do me a favor... go turn your bass up, crank up the volume, and actually get out of the car and go to the back, see if you hear it. (you obviously aren't going to hear it when you're inside the car) It sounds amazing inside the car, but it sounds like **** if you're next to someone at a...

    My MPG obviously REALLY depends on how I'm driving. If I'm "granny" driving, I get anywhere from 17-20mpg IN town... On the highway, I just took a 120mi 1way trip and set the cruise at about 71, got 30.6MPG. This was a little more than usual, normally it would be around 28.5 at that. If I am in...

    Wow, I'm not sure what kind of system you are used to... but for me, the bass hits really hard with the shaker1000.

    Exhaust

    well, if you're looking for something cheap, then that's what you're going to get with SLP's. Just like everyone else has said, you need the mufflers on our cars. You get what you pay for, usually.

    shaker1000

    Just curious if anyone has the Shaker1000? If so, do you get a lot of rattle on the outside of the trunk with heavy bass? I know you can get insulation type stuff to cause it not to rattle, anyone ever done this? Link me! :nice:
