i would tell you not to anyway.

if you don't like the delete (which was like $200) then check out the Riss Racing exhaust for the 328's or a Remus Powersound muffler (which is what I had before the muffler delete).

Man I need some new tips.

So seth, sound is good right? I want something loud but not to the point its annoying. I don't have any engine mod so mine might not sound as agressive. And if I get this done the performance or quality won't decrease will it. Just sound?

Like bump as in good or bad? Sorry I'm very engine/performance illiterate

Oh and what do you mean no cats? Isn't the muff delete just taking out the muffler?I thought it had nothing to do with cats.

ah, yeah, I erred...

bump as in positive...removing the muffler will make the exhaust less restrictive (albeit, itll be a small up in power)

and seths car sounds mean

I know how to take them apart...back in the day I did my rsx-s headlights

not a big deal to do, just takes a good chunk of time to make sure you seal them up right...though I guess its possible he does this without having to bake them

I think they ok fine. I couldn't notice the chips. I would just paint them black since they're always dirty anyways

Those black chrome tips look sick and I am going to pick up a set here soon. If you get them first let me know how they turn out.

I am looking at the 3.8, 4 is just a little to big for my taste.

They arent. It's basically the old (>40) old-911-schoolers vs the young 987ers (>30).

This 335 is a stepping stone for me.

Pcar....not sure which one though.

When I was last shopping it was an 04-06 C4S at the top of my list, but after driving an AWD car for the last 2 years, I think Im ready for a genuine rwd sportscar and not a GT like the 335. Who knows, Id take a Turbo in a sec though.

The plan is to have a early 2000 Wrangler or Tacoma as a winter beater.
