Re: 15 month update
Just ordered this DC Sports 4-1 ceramic coated header as my next mod. Not too far down the road I will do a high flow cat once I find a tuner friendly shop in my area.

I have decided not to do a high flow cat. Been doing a lot of reading in the forum. It seems that our cars do need the back pressure or you will loose low end torque and power. Also, high flow cat could potentially still throw some nasty emission codes and my car is a daily driver so I need to pass NY emissions. So I'm keeping my stock cat.

It's been raining hard and with the winter and snow coming I invested in this K&N dry charger filter cover. It's supposed to keep water off of your ram air intake without restricting air flow. We'll see. For $20 free shipping (Amazon) it can't be beat.

K&N dry charger installed today. It has a water repellent material. I noticed a drop of water inside the filter as I was doing the installation. I drove about 35 miles last night in rain and slushee snow. Here's a couple of pictures of how it looks.

Thanks I really like the way it looks and sounds. The materials are quality and the installation seamless. The only thing I have an issue with is that the actual pipe is made of plastic so it is quieter than a metal one. But overall I am happy with it.

Thanks to Governor Cuomo now it is officially illegal to have tinted windows in NY. So it is with great sadness that today I removed the tinted windows on my car. Darn you Cuomo! Darn you!! Hahahhaa

Bro with all the freaking problems we have in this country, this is what these guy in Albany worries about, freaking tinted windows on cars!! How about homelessness and jobs and affordable housing and a million other things more important than freaking tinted windows! And not to mention my car looks like crap now! I am pissed!

I had to do some other mod to the car to make up for the loss of the tinted windows. So I removed the tow hook and finished the exhaust chrome tip in matte black. Thinking about raising the suspension as well, the hell with them I am really gonna go stealth mode if thats what they want!

I would say this get black leather interior your car will automatically look darker due to dark interior. I know leather will cost $$$$$ but if you could find like 04 05 Acura EL front seats do it one piece at a time.

Here she is after raising the suspension two inches all around. She sits now about one inch lower than factory I estimate. Very comfortable ride now and I think she still looks good. Sorry she's dirty but it's been snowing up here.
