hit the dyno FINALLY

winter= DRIFTING

got a throttle body spacer


got new tips...motordyne burnt titanium...and had all of my muffler piping redone in stainless....2.5" mandrel bent to expanded 3" to fit the tip, everything tig welded meticulously....











so yeah, I'm pretty sure my Kinetix high flow cats are nice and broken in now, and since I just got all my muffler piping and everything redone I figured it called for some exhaust video action. The redone tip extensions actually changed the sound a bit due to the size of the tips/piping...
enjoy!

this video reminds me of how much i want to hit a track to find out how slow I am haha or at least borrow somebody's g-force thing so it can tell me my approx. 0-60-100 etc...

enjoy!

It definitely helps your FX stand out.

[jbaker1121]

exactly...there's only so much you can do to the exterior since there is pretty much nothing available for it aftermarket....
I am going to paint the grille black and lightly tint the tail lights..

oh snappage
more pictures!

2006 fx grille modified to fit my 05 fx bumper (had to trim the clips on the back and simply use screws instead...no more ";06 can't fit" problem)



fixed my headlight, and the fogs (no more kptech module...need to send it in for replacement)



Tail lights, paint-tinted and still semi-transparent. You can still see all of the chrome detail inside. The golden tint? because of the dark chrome on the inside.







and, the light still comes through the tint perfectly...so not po-po problems...



also, a mini-mod; I had to trim the plastic base of the cargo area cover because it wouldnt sit flush with the sub box....so belt sander and velco later, it fits much much better. I still may apply dynamat to the bottom of metal part of the bumper because it still vibrates....

You're doing such small, simple mods, but it makes a huge difference in the look of the vehicle. Nice work!

oh hai update time

went to a car wash.
they sprayed wheel cleaner on my hot exhaust tips
the acids/bases in the cleaner hit the warm Ti; taking out the oxidation permanently
The car wash would not pay for the damages
I negotiated and got a free full detail.
and took pics!
I also ttook the time to get some closeups of my sub box, since I never really posted a great pic of it.
