1) Will a HFC work with stock pipes back to my tanabe axle backs?
2) Will I NEED an uprev tune after this mod?(Uprev is all I'd consider) I can't find a shop anywhere off the UPREV site for tuning here in florida.
There isn't any sense in doing this mod if it will screw up my ride without getting a tune.

When the day comes for a CBE, I'm going to be researching this real hard. Until then:

Just got my Carsmos today, sure feel substantial and look great. Nice to bring a bit of a German feel to the interior switchgear.
BTW John, love my dinner plate tips but they're actually just a bit bigger than hockey pucks, After having them I wouldn't want smaller ones, at least w/ my G in its' current form. If it had more of a stock look they'd be a bit much I think.

Quick question
Can anybody shoot up a pic of their car with 6000k hid headlights, but still stock bulbs elsewhere.
I just got my 6k headlight bulbs and was wondering if it would look bad to go ahead and install them. I haven't ordered a hid kit for the fogs or switchbacks yet..

As far as complaints go, that one is so small it's microscopic.

What really bugs me about aftermarket CBE for our car is the exhaust tips the size of dinner plates. Fortunately I learned first-hand that anything can be hacked off and welded on to suit personal tastes. The trick is finding something perfect. My tips are a compromise in that they're single-walled, with no rolled or beveled edge. They look absolutely fantastic at an angle (IMO), but when viewed straight-on they pretty much disappear. 3.5" Magnaflow tips, single-wall, round, 45* slash-cut, custom cut and welded to fit.

Let me see more pictures of those tips from the rear... and thats why I said Im not a big fan of those big tips size of a dinner plate either ... but everything is done step by step at least in my case I'm sure in yours as well Rochester but as I have mentioned I'm planning on custom quad tips anyway to acomplish the awesome custom look I'm going for especially because its going to be something that you rarely see on any G especially sedan
How do you plan on doing yours? I like the way the GTR tips look, but I'm loath to hack on my bumper to make them fit.

Here's a pic of qaud-tips on the Sedan. I really like them, however I would like them a lot more if they were both independently welded to the can, rather than split off the single exhaust tip, as these appear to be.
Plus, I think these stick out a little too far.

See what I mean? The tips disappear when looked at perfectly straight (and in this case, in the shadows.)
Like I said, at an angle they are gorgeous. Unique, clean and kind of domestic old-school, which is odd for an import, but it works for me. However, straight on they have zero presence. None.
Hence the compromise on single-walled, non-rolled tips.

I don't know how I feel about quad tips. Rather, I should say that I like them, but I see them poorly executed (in my opinion) more often than not. I like GTR exhaust tips 2 pairs of tips next to each other with a space between the pairs. I don't care for Zonda style tips, Corvette style quads, or Lexus IS-F style tips.

Rochester I know what you are saying... I would like them much more if they were both done the way you described although I dont think that's an easy or even possible task when you are originally working with single exhaust tip unless you change out the whole axle back part with the canisters to a custom made one with two independent exhaust tips which I'm sure would be a lot more costly and more than likely would affect the way a given exhaust sounds...

It's not an inexpensive, nor easy, bolt-on project... but if you've ever heard a Borla exhaust, well, nothing compares, IMO. It is the sweet-spot of exhaust notes.
But one thing it certainly would be is unique. You'd be the only guy on the Forum with a custom Borla exhaust on the Sedan.

Heres a question for yall..... What do you guys think about taking a sedan and lowering it a little on so 18x9.5" rims to kinda keep a "Track Beast" look. Im a functional kinda guy and like a lighter rim and a little more tire than most for autocross and what not. I like the way 19's look but dont like the weight vs cost ratio lol. Just thought I would get yall s input.
