repairing some minor damage from backing into a hard concrete object.
anyone know what type of exhaust would be best for a 2k3....even though my g/f just wants to "show it"...i actually want to run it :devil: does skunk make exhaust components? also is there a mod/parts guide for new owners?
Thanx in Advance!

I actually hope to buy a new digital cam this week so i can take pics of the before & after shots of the ride. Also this weekend will be the first time the car gets shown and i think i'm more excited about it than she is. so i bought the exhaust lastnight it's a thermal r&d performance exhaust system costed me a pretty penny $505.00.....

it should be here by thursday, friday the latest..ofcourse, i'll be doing all the work myself, & since i live on base, we have an auto-hobby shop that provides a bay w/a lift and all the tools you can imagine for $3/hr so i'm good to go w/the spring install & the exhaust swap.
oh, before i forget, anyone have any idea on average the exhaust install takes?
& where are all the good meet vids etc......who doesn't like to watch a few good vids while they're at work? lol
Thanks once again guys!

Rep Power: 0 the exhaust install shouldnt take more than a half hour-45 min. an hour at the most. it is simple, unbolt, rebolt. and since she has an 03, none of the bolts should be rusted on or anything yet. welcome to the site man!

Jeeeez, you guys are alot better mannered than some of the guys that post on dsmtuners.com usually they flame the **** out of newbies, but i guess i have enough automotive experience under my belt.
born in jamaica (the island in the west indies) not in queens, ny.lol
lived there for 10 years and i luckily was exposed to cars at an early age.
real type-r's, gti-r's, gtr's, evo's etc.
dad still lives there and has a nissan pulsar gti-r and a toyota levin, both of which haven't and probably won't make it to the states.
my mom lives in miami and has a 89 rx7, stepdad has 90 limited edition turbo running 20 psi talk about a sleeper...everything stock except for the 3 inch exhaust.
but nothing beats going home driving on the left hand side w/a RHD car.....
