yeah man, just stick with it...these things can be changed, also I was looking through your gallery and I really like that shift light, where did you get it and how much did you pay for it?

just off ebay man. It said it lit up blue and it actually lights up purple, but i think it looks sick either way. Just wire the three wires of it into 12V +, ground, and then into your tach. Its adjustable too, i have mine set really low for daily driving though

My stock exhaust with a sportbike muffler sounds better than that thing lol. I need to get a soundclip.

Get that resonator put on and u'll be fine. Mine sound kinda like that before with the MagnaFlow muffler, but gotten a resonator put on and the DC headers. Now its deep tone.
I'm going to change the MAGNAFLOW to an Apexi N1

So....2.25" back from a Spoon high-flow cat (thats bolted onto an ebay header) to my APC muffler. All mandrel bent, no resonator YET

for the time being i'm not satisfied with it.

Dude, what did you expect when using nothing but knock off parts and no resonator. I know not everyone can afford a top of line exhaust system, but at this rate you're going to end up spending more moeny in the long run than you would have if you'd just picked up a well priced catbasck (megan racing) and a high flow cat.

Really not trying to be a douche, but, you get what you pay for
