    idk what kind it is, it was just the cheapest one . I figured if I spend $20 on a used one I would be just as well off as spending $50 for a new one.

    • Just bought the X-pipe. It's brand new (yay for other people aborting their projects). Got it for $77.09 shipped. A brand new one straight from Magnaflow costs about $150.

      • Well I know cam was a little far off in the plans, but now this shows up:

        I'm REALLY tempted. Any thoughts?

          • eh, after further consideration, I've decided to hold off on the cam. I'll burn that bridge when I get to it (and who knows when that will be). I need to hold on to my money so I can buy some shocks yet this spring too.

            • random question: it won't hurt anything if I just remove my hoodliner, will it? I suppose the only thing I'm really worried about is it getting too hot after driving.

              • well according to other forums I asked this on, I guess no hoodliner = no problem. So I got to thinking...with no hoodliner, I could make my hoodscoops functional. Just cut out the black plastic part and put in some black wire mesh. I still have the extras from the car I wrecked, so I could try it with those. Thoughts?

                • i dont see why not, just take into consideration the fact water will get in there if you drive it while its raining. i seemed to have a few electrical gremlens when i had my cowl hood and water would get sucked in. maybe it was just bad timing idk lol just a thought.
                  wishing i could drive like joe and the atm squad

                  • Where do you see the advantage of making the hood scoops functional? If you run a CAI its down in the front bumper so having hood scoops won't affect that air. I guess if you want to cool down the intake manifold and cool down the charge that way.

                      • so I'm thinking about some LCAs, and I always hear "relocation brackets" mentioned in the same breath. What are relocation brackets, and will I need them if I buy LCAs?

                          They move the back mounting point of the LCAs down, and help reduce wheelhop, especially in lowered applications.

                          Generally a recommended buy.

                          • are you lowered? If so then they are highly recommended. also it moves the back mounting point down (connected to the rear axle)
                            Doing less with more
