yeah he is kind of an idiot... he wants to make a downpipe like mine too so he has no cat, u bend, resonator, or mufflers! i told him that it will sound like crap and that he shouldnt do it!

im thinkin for mine i already have the cat and u bend out and i think im gunna cut the resonator off and leave the stock mufflers...

yeah the pipes and some stuff in the way can make it sound better. A stock V6 isn't the prettiest noise in the world IMO.. but with a little tweaking it can be better.

I want it louder then stock, but with a deeper rumbling. Basically the sound as in those videos. Its no V8, but it sounds far from a 4 cylinder import as well.

As far as the lights I'd love the projectors, but I'll most likly end up with the black housing...once i get $200.

I'm looking for rims too..I dont want anything too crazy i think a more simple design is what i want. Or i may just paint mine like the TS and Dale junior edition wheels

cant wait to see the video! And the grill came the flat black, i sanded it, primed it, painted it glossy black, taped off the black, then sanded the mesh and painted it with a "chrome"/metallic silver paint. I put two coats on, then lightly sanded the whole thing and painted two coats of glossy clear coat.

that seems to be the issue with every project for every person... you never hear of anyone always having enough money to buy just what they need... its always a struggle haha and yet we still do it!
