haven't posted in a while,
but since my last post I've removed the SOHC decals, upgraded to some nicer red open ended Blackworks lug nuts, new Yokohama s drive tires, new Morimoto 3five hid kit, tinted the front windows 35% and permanently mounted my radar right above my rear-view mirror. oh and i got a neat Weksos license frame for the front from the Weksos rendezvous event back in October.
pictures will follow if i feel like taking some

still in the market for a used Si axleback and some used springs though. offers? hmu

What kind of exhaust is that?

its just a tip, but i'm looking into an si axleback

I tried to get a used si axle back for mine too.. All the used ones I found were over $200.. The best used I could find was on eBay for $170 but it was off a wrecked 07 with 98000 miles. I ended up buying brand new from hondapartssales dot com. $228 shipped for axle back, finisher/tip, si hanger, and tip bolt

 

[Joe Liu]

bought a 2009 si axleback this weekend but the fitment was a tad too short.
didn't want to cut the flanges and weld it together so i just got the Si tip welded on my original exhaust and got rid of the resonator. sounds great, just a bit raspy at times. all in all not bad i guess.

pictures coming soon

 

[12aay_e]

looks good!

 

[Joe Liu]

so the resonator was taken off

and we replaced it with a pipe

sounds louder and aggressive, kind of raspy at times but not bad

 

[Joe Liu]

like i mentioned..the 2009 Si axleback was too short, so i just took the tip and got it welded on my stock muffler.

 

[Joe Liu]

have some megan ez street coilovers coming in a few weeks so stay tuned!

 

[Joe Liu]

guess what
