not sure if any was interested or not, but i just wanted to post some photos of some changes to my car in the last month or so.

minor exhaust upgrade, A spec L spec 3" exhaust with 7" tip to clear bumper. Lower part of the bumper was trimmed with a jigsaw to accommodate the leftside exit. Also the driverside tow hook was torched off in the process. and a new hanger was put in its place.

Exhaust guy welded directly to my turbo tony pipe right after the flex piece. 3" all the way back from there. turned out pretty clean, but im going to have to bootleg smog it now, or change my registration to somewhere other then clark (las vegas) and washoe (reno) county now.

28x9x2.75" intercooler from cxracing.com

funny enough his warehouse is located in south el monte, ca. while i was down in La visiting the parents i was able to go directly to his warehouse and pick out all the pieces i needed. two chinese guys run the business and are very cool. When i bought everything down there you basically knock off $5-10 from the online price at cxracing.com.
koyo 53mm + aluminum stock brackets for the intercooler.

I been meaning to ask on CR but could you take a photo of how to mounted the exhaust on the driver side... The muffler will do.
I plan to do a driver side exhaust also, but wondering about hangers and locations.
Thanks

i just figured out how thick and how long i wanted it, then i taped it off with masking tape. for the rounded corners i used the masking tape circular shape and traced it to my liking.
after everything was mocked up i drilled a hole big enough to fit the jigsaw blade and cut it. It still needs some shaping but looks alright for now i guess.
