Recently i switched to a Jegs 1 wire 100 amp alternator since mine fried. I had a new 2.5" exhaust put on with Dynomax ultraflow ss mufflers and my dad was able to find enough stainless tubing at work for the tailpipes. Unfortunately one of the mufflers had a tiny dent when we opened the box and it pops at certain rpms when you let off the gas, it sounds great at idle and i love the interior sound but when i hear it resonate off of walls and cars it sounds like its more of a farty/poppy sound than a growl or rumble, kind of like some old dog of a truck that you can almost hear each cylinder fire(but not in a good way). If it bugs me enough and i have my dad drive it so i can hear it and i don't like it i'm going to replace them with Borla mufflers. Finally after 6 years i ordered a set of wheels and tires that i actually wanted. Summit legends, 18x8.5 up front with 5.125" of backspacing and 18x9.5 rears with 6" of backspacing. Tires are Nitto 555 245/40 up front and 275/40 for the rears. I have the rear wheels and the tires but the front wheels don't ship until the 23rd, i couldn't beat $600 for the wheels and $644 shipped for the tires.





Rear Tires


Front Tires
