Interesting color...dont have that in the states. How does the exhaust sound?
Name it Hulk haha

[11LE]

Haha Hulk is good.

2006?? Gen6 came out earlier in ROW eh?

Like the color, mate.

Nice! Another aussie! Sound clips of your exhaust? And more info on the dual upgrade?

[robertalpha00]

Nice job keep doing it... Sportivo Hulk!!! Nice name

[einfuhrer]

I'll get a sound clip of the exhaust when I get a decent camera doh. Anyways its just cat-back for now (till I get headers made up), 2.5" pipe to the muffs. Nothing too serious. Thinking about the res delete though


Alrighty so... my surprise came in the post today. Install pics in the next couple days when I have some time to get to it

2.5 to the mufflers? Any loss in performance?
Im going dual next week. And the way the exhaust shop wants to do it is have it 2.5 from the rest then back to 2.25 right before the mufflers so we dont loose any back pressure

Sorry yeah it was 2.5 to the splitter then 2 x 2.25's, got lost there for a minute. It hasn't lost any power by the feel of it though.

ok so forgot to post these ones

Footwell LEDs:




and LOVING the Metra Dash Kit so far, so clean and easy to install.


Sorry about the grainy pics but hey, don't have a decent camera.

Alrighty so today I designed and built a switch box for A. My LEDs and B. To bypass the stupid hand brake video lock on the new HU. Thinking I may drill a hole and mount it in the centre console

[11LE]

That looks legit. What will the other two switches be for? Transformer mode and nos??

Sorry I'll explain a bit better

Switch 1: Front LED's
Switch 2: Rear LED's

The Alpine HU has a different way of disabling video, it requires foot brake to be on,
hand brake to be pumped on then off then left back on to work (bastards). So it needs a 2nd switch. Should just probably buy the PAC switch lol but im cheap

so,
Switch 3: "Hand Brake Light" Wire
Switch 4: "Foot Brake Light" Wire

It's all getting installed tomorrow morning before work, already removed all the trim etc tonight to save me some time. Can't FN wait! Just a shame I won't have time to enjoy the fruits of my labour until I'm finished work tomorrow.
