You're just jealous that you weren't invited.

Not as deeply toned as the FI or ARK, but still rich, and hella loud. Cans and tips are very attractive. Tips are almost perfect.

I drove it down the street and back... Was surprised how loud it can be under load. Sure you know what that's like.

No, he's using Eibach springs. Some unscientific comparisons have the swift front end lower than the Eibach, but the Eibach rear end lower. Go figure.

I just realized that those low, front-facing photos very clearly demonstrates ride height. That's pretty cool.

Very nice! Looks like a good time! Most of those sedans where at the meet up last spring, correct? Another large meet would be good to see all the progress, but without john having to organize it all. Hmmmm....

Three 6MT Sedans, modified and lowered. One G35x, towering over the rest.



Two rear spoilers, two chrome lips. And apparently 3 sets of mudflaps. Who knew those were optional? (Not Mike, LOL)

They're still ugly John, but I might go ahead and buy a set sometime, who knows LOL.

Mike's exhaust sounds amazing, I totally love it but I believe it's still in the "burn in" period, just gotta get rid of that damn Y-pipe rattle against the either heatshield or the crossbrace[...]

[...] which kind of made that exhaust sound like it's doesn't have a deep tone like FI or ARK , that's why John is under impression it's not as deeply toned as either one of them, but like John stated it can really get quite loud when you step on it and go above the ~3k RPM range. I'm glad John finally likes something about my car but man, does this guy look at every possible tiniest detail out there !

I'm on Eibachs he's on Swifts and we found it interesting as John stated that his front end was lower than mine and my rear end was lower than his, but overall his drop was more evened out front to rear.

Do you plan on replacing the pipe coming off the cats with anything, or just planning on leaving it as is now

Is it a metal on metal sound? Are you sure its rubbing on the heat shield? When I push my car kind of hard, mainly when I have some aggressive down shifts (where down shifts are above 3,500 RPM) I notice a squeaking like noise coming from the right rear of the car, and its been an issue ever since I had my exhaust installed. It doesn't touch any heat shields and as far as I can tell its not rubbing on anything. I did a little bit of Google searching and found out, on the Mustang forum nonetheless, that they have the same problem but have narrowed it down to the rubber hangers needing some lubrication. I bought some silicon spray today to test out that theory before going to a exhaust shop to have them look at it.
