I have that... and it started probably about 8-10 months ago... its only under hard acceleration. Is there some way to fix this Seth?

Total was $581. That was for the 4 flushes incl. taxes and stuff. I also had to pay for the 2 PCV valves ($38). They cleaned my TBs for free, as well as lubed the windows and such. My transmission definitely feels better a bit smoother. They told me that the door has previously been taken apart, which worries me since the Carfax was clean. But I think in putting it back together, they fixed the noise since I didn't hear it on my drive back. The windshield pop was there but it was light, and they said they would want me to drive w/ a tech to have them hear it.

All in all I'm pretty excited. Can't wait to put my intakes on this weekend pending good weather (don't have a garage )

Yep. R2Cs. I wouldn't have gotten the stillens due to the work involved. The R2Cs I thought would be the easiest to install and quickest to remove in case something were to go wrong and I'd have to take it to the dealer.

Takeda announced their option after i had already got my R2Cs, otherwise I might have strongly considered those.

I just want a new exhaust and I'll be set. I'm intrigued by the Injen exhaust, otherwise I'm hoping to snag a cheap HKS somewhere. I think I like that one the best. ARK is too deep, and I hear MXP is too loud. HKS is pretty throaty which is what i'm looking for. I dont want to lose that VQ sound. I've grown accustomed to hearing it. I can tell when something is driving by if it's a G or not.

MXP isn't loud at all, unless you open it up. swordsman and I both have MXP and the sound is just addicting. Quiet when driving around town, but sounds great when you get on it.

Just my .02 cent. There's an MXP exhaust for sale in the classifieds right now for $795, which is one helluva deal.

From hearing these guys pull up,and riding with them on certain meets i can vouch that their MXP exhaust does sound very good!

If you want to retain the VQ sound a bit, then go for the Invidia exhaust. GPR37 has it and it's basically just a deeper VQ sound. HKS is just plain rice, and that is it. MXP is a completely different sound, but it is a good one. Ark actually sounds pretty damn good, too. It has a deeper sound than MXP, but like it, is different from the VQ note.

I'm looking forward to this meet in Fredricksburg to check them all about.

Ultimately, I want to keep the VQ note, i just want it to be a little LOUDER so I can hear it in the car (windows down obv). I dont want it to be wake the neighbors loud, but I want it louder. My current experience is all youtube videos, and I know it's not a good source, but it's all I got for now. I dont plan to get HFCs so I dont think that I need to worry about Rasp. I dunno. so many choices. I hear the Injen that is coming out might be good too.

Invidia is what you are looking for. I don't know if there are going to be any there though...

Invidias are cheap too from what I hear. $800 or so for the full catback. Hopefully SOMEONE there has one, and I can hear it. I just bought a front strut bar. slowly my G is getting souped up. haha

That's the one. Mainly I'm just getting those things that I can install myself pretty easily. I dont have a garage, so some of the bigger things like sway bars and what not, I'll have to pass on. I'm looking forward to this meet though on the 17th.
