Borla exhaust or Pacesetter exhaust. They'll both get atleast some power gains right?

I know the borla is the same diameter as stock but I hear that better quality bends can help with a little power too?

the big restriction is the stock headers. so unless you've got headers, then any extra flow in the cat-back size won't matter at all. EITHER are big improvements over the stock crush bends.

Haha, first glance at thepic I was like, why would he put the rotor on wrong? Then I realized to measure them.

yeah it wasn't possible to get the tape flat the other way. don't remember why i took the pics.

the other day i remembered i had an imageshack account and those were in there.

Is it possible to take out the trim that goes around the rear quarter panel window on a coupe from a car at the JY to replace mine? Just noticed mine had a little piece broken off on the top where i'm guessing hail broke it, I guess the top half of the trim is so old its turned into pretty much plastic now.

kzulfic · 04-19-2013, 09:11 PM

Hail did the same **** to mine. IIRC, you have to take the quarter glass out to change that part of the trim. The rest of should be able to come out without too much work.

TDavis · 04-20-2013, 07:30 AM

Oh lovely.

How do you get the back glass out? If thats the case I probably won't even do it, all that sht just to change a little trim. -.-

Sites to buy stubby antennas off of? Or any shorter antenna then whats on the car. I don't feel like spending $30 atm for the one on customgrandam.

bricooper78 · 04-22-2013, 07:06 PM

eBay, amazon, any of the car supplier sites... they're everywhere

sleepyalero · 04-22-2013, 08:22 PM

nope its connected inside on the back window IIRC.

im glad there is no antenna, so much cleaner look.

bricooper78 · 04-22-2013, 08:24 PM

The old style wire in the glass trick?????????? that's super weak! I want an antenna that isn't bolted on the car

sleepyalero · 04-22-2013, 08:27 PM

ive never had problems with it. doesnt bother me anyway as long as there isnt a 3ft one on a fender or qauter panel

bricooper78 · 04-22-2013, 08:31 PM

yea that's what I mean, they used to be a wire in the windshield back in the 70s, and they always worked fine from what I remember

sleepyalero · 04-22-2013, 09:04 PM
