[Glen4X4]

I like the interior being lit blue

 

[Donner]

it is very nice! can you do that in PA?

 

[Glen4X4]

As far as I know we can, I think your not allowed if the lights are lighting up the entire vehicle that it could cause a distraction. Kind of like the underglow, its allowed if your sitting still but if your driving with them on its illegal. So Storlied did you just replace the stock bulbs or did you add-on?

Bump for new pics of 6000K Dual Beam HIDs, MAC Intake and Mac Catback.

 

[Donner]

How come you don't post the pics here? Easier to find... or do we click on the link?

 

[storlied]

Bump. New Pictures & New Exhaust Video on first page, in video section.

 

[mounty71]

How do you like the exhaust so far? My chrome tip was also already welded on to the pipe, and it wasn't an angled cut like yours.

 

[storlied]

Actually, mine uses a clamp...

Those are a few different things about our setups.. the connections to the cats, the color (sometimes) Mine's black like yours.. and the tip.. you have a straight tip that's pre welded.. mine's angled and has to be clamped on, which I'm going to have welded in a little bit..

I love it, although I wish it were a little bit louder.. but either way.. way better than stock! =D

 

[mounty71]

IIRC, mine got louder as it was broken in more.

 

[storlied]

Ah.. nice. We'll see how this turns out.

 

[storlied]

Bump, new videos.

 

[Donner]

(I'm going to delete some of my posts from your registry, i didn't realize there were so many. i'll delete this one after. sorry about that.)

 

[storlied]

Why? Don't worry about it...

Did ya checkout all the new pictures and videos?

 

[Donner]

Nice! That's the new exhaust? Do you hear it in the passenger compartment?

 

[storlied]

Barely, no annoying drone. I love it.

 

[Donner]

Help! How do you make those videos that you link? Thanks!

 

[Paraphoe]

I video them with my digital camera and then upload them to YouTube.
