Exhaust? Tune? Supercharger?
smile.png


I think it`s safe to say that most of us here are car guys...errrr...or car gals...so does your obsession stop at paint care and detailing or are you a gear head as well?

I`ve been a car guy longer than I can remember, and when I purchased my 2016 Subaru WRX last August I didn`t waste any time researching various performance upgrades.

So far I have:

-ETS catless j-pipe (Subaru speak for a downpipe)
-ETS catback exhaust
-ETS cold air intake
-Grimmspeed boost control solenoid
-IAG TGV (tumbler generator valve) delete
-Process West Verticooler
-STI Group N transmission mount
-STI Group N pitch stop mount
-Perrin short shifter adapter
-Perrin brass shifter bushing
-Cobb Tuning AccessPort
-Custom tune from Bren Tuning in MA

Best of all, I've done all the work myself in my garage at home. :)

What have you done to your car, truck, or SUV? Feed back please

*Edit* - Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
 
Definitely a car guy here, but my parents won't let me do anything to my car like that(17 year old problems lol). I'd love to do coil springs with a 1"-2" drop, a cat back exhaust, cold air intake and a turbocharger on my TSX, but unfortunately not allowed to. I think cars deserve to be[tastefully]modded as it add a level of personality and meaningfulness to a car guy's ride. I'm personally not a fan of the 'grounded to the ground' or JDM look though
 
Very cool, Nick!

'03 z06

Airaid Intake
GHL Bullets Axle-back
RPM Custom Dyno Tune

That's cool Nick! All of my cars have been modded. Some to the extreme. I love it! (1966 SS Chevy II: mini-tubbed, procharged, etc)(2006 Corvette ZO6: cam, intake,CAI, full exhaust, Akropovic exhaust, etc, etc,) (2010 GT500 Hellion twin turbo kit, full suspension)

Currently the 911 has HRE wheels, lowered her 1" with H&R springs, I put on an FVD exhaust and I am waiting on my COBB accessport tune to arrive in the mail!

Great thread!!!!!
 
Ahh Now you hit a cool subject!

2013 Mustang GT w/TrackPack
Mods:

Eibach Pro Springs and Shocks (professionally installed) lowers the car about an inch front 1; 1/2 Inches in the rear
A&M Panhard Rod
Steeda 90MM CAI
Steeda Tune
Ford Cat Back Exhaust
Barton 2 Post Short Throw Shifter
Michelen Pilot Super Sports all 4 Wheels

Probably not going to do any more as I am bouncing about 440 - 450HP and IMO going to heavy Mods you need to mod everything correctly. The reliability factor starts dwindling with the radical mods. But either way very cool post!

-ati balancer with 8.66 lower pulley
-100mm idler
