yeah... no rust, except for on the top of the hangers but you can't see it, still shinny (drove with it in the winter), no complaints.

Only thing I didn't like is it hangs a little low. No problem there... just went to crappy tire and bought some shorter exhaust hangers.

The sway bar was the best money spent on my car.

HKS + Progress rear sway = PIMP.

I don't only say that because that is the same setup I have, I say that because it works. Best mods I have done to date.

I agree 100%! Whenever someone is on ym site asking what to do to their 7th gens first I always recommend they start with the sway bar because with all stock suspension and just the rear sway bar I could tell a he!! of a difference. Now with the Eibach's it got slightly better yet.

As far as the exhaust....I like the HKS way better for sure and it "seems" to give me better pickup than the Magnaflow full system.

bobby did you ever see my HKS at the meets? Yeah I love mine too, it just needs to be a little louder at idle and then it would be perfect for me.

My Turn.



I guess I'm missing the sway bar though. How much do those cost anyway?

I only scrape when theres a really big dip and I'm going to fast (usually I turn my wheel to the left and go over it sideways anyway, that way my muffler will be even more slanted). Or, if there are people in the backseat to weigh my rear down. And if I do scrape, its not the muffler tip, its just the bottom of the muffer part that connects to the piping (the lowest part of the exhaust) so nobody see's anyway.

I am lowered a little more than an inch and I don't scrape. I went through my sisters apartment complex where they have these monster speed bumps the other day and I was fine. Not one scrape.

The tone is nice and it growles good...no ricyness or whatever you want to call the mufflers that sound like scooters.
