Things have changed since then. Back in the day those pops meant engine xplosion lol nowadays it's just some fuel and timing settings. I can day surely ihave has burble tunes for over 7 years with no issues whatsoever.

Anyone have any tips to replace the side vents? The grills were fairly straight forward and managed to remove them without breaking any tabs!

Some reason X3M stuff is much cheaper than the X4M stuff.

Does bootmod3 cure the lack or torque below 3k?

Don't think so. Downpipes and intake would help.

Intakes..... must... have... intakes.....

itsmabs · 02-21-2020, 12:42 AM

Are catted downpipes pretty much a guaranteed state inspection fail? Specifically for ny members, if you have experience? Always feel a bit anxious bout having to find a shop I can buy a sticker from.

Down pipes alone really wakes the car up, do much less restrictions.

I am pretty much can get anything and everything.
Been in this industry since the 90's, I can always find a way to get them.
